I am writing this article with myown experience. I was also searching for this webcam drivers all the time and I got many sites and forms telling how to make it work. but all those are not working with me. Every time I download a source and compile it I was only getting errors. and at last I got a simple way. the screenshots of the webcam working in my hp pavlion dv2918 is here.
What I did is
1) take synaptic synaptic package manager(System >> Adminstration>> synaptic package manager)
2) Reload
3) Select Cheese
4) Mark and apply. The software and driver should be installed.
Or
take terminal and type
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install cheese
Then take the application from Application>>Graphics>> cheese Webcam Booth

Linux kernal is always expanding. It contains the default driver for the webcam also. the cheese is using that default driver to get the webcam work....!!
