That's explains to me why... 

After installing FC3 I surprisingly :-) got big frame resolutions
without trouble while managing GnomeMeeting & another webcam apps.
Asking to me what a hell they did to the pwc module in order to supply
the pwcx decompressor function so smartly.. 
Previously, in FC1 had to recompile a new kernel in order to add that
functionality to my webcam, a Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro. No trivial for
me..
Things are continuously changing to better in the Fedora Project..

List of webcams currently supported by the pwc module at.. -not too far-

This new one, I have to try it..
