skype works fine for me on F9 x86_64 with both my laptop's integrated
webcam (Dell XPS M1330 with the thinner screen and VGA webcam) as well
as a "Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro" I picked up at Frys this
morning for my kids.  I did have to upgrade skype to the latest beta
though.

Ekiga works fine with both too.
