I have managed to get my webcam - a Logitech model - working using the gspca drivers from http://mxhaard.free.fr/ . However, everytime there is a new kernel available I have to recompile it. Is it available on a repo like Livna have done with the nVidia drivers and kmod-nvidia.
I like leaving it as it is, so I can recompile (which takes less than a minute) to have it immediately available.
That's probably what I'll do then. It's not as if it takes ages to compile.
Secondly, even though I can view the output of the webcam in the configuration window in Kopete, I can't get anyone else to see it and I can't view anyone else's that are online.
I finally beat that problem some time ago, but for the life of me, I cannot remember exactly what I did. Have you tried ekiga yet?
I haven't tried ekiga yet, but as an update I have managed to send and view a webcam in Kopete over yahoo. Still can't get anything on msn though.
