Sorry for being so general. I am using kernel-2.6.27.5-113.fc10. I have
tested it with Cheese, that worked in FC9. In FC9, when I ran Cheese, a
light by the webcam blinked. Now, in FC10 when I run Cheese, that light
turns on but doesn't blink, and the app window stays as waiting for
something. Excuse my bad English.
Benja, it would probably also help if you said which webcam this is. I have
the same kernel on my Acer Aspire One, and the webcam works well enough.
Could be a bit brighter, but then so could most webcams.
