I'm surprised that the uvcvideo driver loaded at all, since the version of that driver contained in Puppy 5.2.5 doesn't actually support your device ID !

I found updated source code and device ID's for the uvcvideo driver here -

so it's feasible that the uvcvideo driver in Puppy 5.2.1 - 5.2.8 could be hacked/upgraded ...
but the easiest thing to do would be to use a version of Puppy with newer kernel version - so I suggest you move up to luci-529 (Three Headed Dog)

I could not get the webcam applications in Puppy Lucid 520 to work with my webcam.
In other words, luvcview failed to run and popped up a window stating "Luvcview has encountered an error. Make sure your webcam is connected and configured properly." But there is no info on how to configure the webcam.

I then installed Guvcview and I then had a working application for the webcam.
Oh, I should mention that webcam was built in on my Toshiba laptop.
I have not tried it with Skype though.
But the application allows you to record the video stream and also take snapshots.
