My webcam uses these modules.  What application you want to use depends, I 
suppose, on what you intend to do with it.  I've only installed this one for 
Internet chat etc, as I want to have video sessions with my sister who no 
longer lives in the UK.

The camera is recognised and works in kopete's setup screen - I haven't tried 
it yet in an actually session.  It works even better in ekiga.
