I think I have my webcam working on FC6. It is one of the X10 ones using the VA11A usb ones. Is there something I can try taking a capture with this this cam? I see it detecting in /var/log/messages, but I'm not sure how to take a picture with it or activate it.
I'm on CentOS these days not FC but similar enough to be worth an answer. I use quickcam PRO 4000 webcams which use the pwc kernel driver with no messing around. For capturing I used to use a program simply called webcam that was part of xawtv, but now I use camE instead. Handily camE is packaged by Dag Wieers for FC for you (and I use his el4 version, thanks Dag!): http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/camE/ Cheers, A.D.
