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/
Oops, sorry - that only goes as far as FC3. Not much idea why it has not been built for later FC versions- has it become part of the main distribution? Cheers, Tony
