  $ dmesg (partial) shows webcam present

  NOTE #1:  Unity vs Unity 2d issue -- WEBCAM fails in either BUT in Unity 2d there is no picture but at least screen goes from 
                      pure black to colors

  NOTE #2:  I will file a separate bug ... but I think the solution to
  this BUG is related to Adobe Flash Player NOT working also in Ubuntu
  12.04 x64 OS.    MANY people have attached to that Ubuntu Bug AND
  DOZENS of bugs marked duplicates of it.

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-
  nonfree/+bug/410407

  Again, only x64 versions of Ubuntu affected.

  I also have screenshots that I can send showing FLASH PLAYER -and-
  Webcam work in Debian 6 x64 -but- both fail in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with
  Unity.

  I also have a screenshot I can send that shows FLASH PLAYER -is- mouse
  clickable in in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 (even though the webcam still doesn't
  work.

  I  wanted to file these 2 bugs because Debian and Ubuntu or so closely
  related that perhaps some DEV can figure out why both these 2 issues
  fail in Ubuntu 12.04 x64 release yet BOTH work in Debian 6 x64
  release?

  There are ALOT of people having these 2 problems right now.
  thanks
