In reading up on the ever-perplexing topic of webcams, I came across the fairly recent advent of the UVC standard and the even more recent uvcvideo driver from the Linux-UVC project. Any plans afoot to include uvcvideo as part of Fedora in the near (or even not so near) future? It sounds as if the manufacturers have finally realized that it is to everyone's benefit if video devices can be just as plug&play as disk drives. (Although it is currently quite difficult to actually find info on the manufacturers web sites about UVC compliance. The UVC folks need to make one of them catchy logos everyone can put on their boxes so you can tell :-). I did build the uvcvideo driver from source, and it seems to work (which kinda surprised me - usually you have to fiddle with this stuff for a long time first).
