Comment 77 for bug 120434

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

For my own system I:
Added the repository
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install ricoh-r5u87x cheese
sudo r5u87x-loader
reboot
cheese

Everything seemed to work fine. It seems that after running
r5u87x-loader a reboot is necessary for the changes to matter.

I intend to write a man page before trying to get this included into
the universe. Once I have all the input I'll go after this.
