How do I find out what webcam driver is in use?

I need to troubleshoot a webcam that stopped working correctly in Ubuntu 12.04. It's always worked "out of the box" in the past so I have no idea what driver it uses.

How do I go about looking that up?

1 Answer

Use the following command to see all the loaded driver modules in the system.

Open terminal then type

lsmod

And see if your driver is listed in the modules or not

there is also another command that list the PCI modules

lspci
