You will notice that this bug report is several months old, and talks
about the camera not being recognized. These days I believe the camera
*is* being recognized.
From today's dmesg:

Yup, and my last comment on that bug says roughly the same thing :)
I keep mentioning 'Record', because that is code being
handled by people
working on the XO.
I found that 'cheese' fails the same way your Record does. But
fswebcam does indeed capture a picture.
But the _real_ problem started with a Geode driver change after
Joyride 2602 -- that was the last time my various multimedia
applications showed me what I would describe as a "moving picture".
Is the symptom of that problem recorded anywhere in RH bugzilla? Do
you have any more information readily available about that change (of
course I can go dig it out, I'm just asking in case you already have).
Sounds like we should start chasing that issue now that the other
one(s) are addressed.
