I have an Asus laptop. It is the X53 Model. I use Ubuntu 11.04 on it and I have no problems but when I try to open a multimedia program the LED of my webcam turns on. What can I do to about it?

These programs are activating the webcam in order to get some information and do a light hardware scan. There isn't much you could do about it, but you could ask them in a bug report to provide an option to stop hardware checking every time they load.
