Drivers

Ideally, your webcam will be supported by the UVC drivers (that are included in recent kernels). You need to build this driver as well as build the generic v4l2 framework support.

To test your webcam, you can use the luvcview application (in Portage), although you may have to specify a different format if you get an error:

luvcview -f yuv

In Ekiga, in order to use v4l2 the pwlib / ptlib (ptlib is for recent Ekiga versions) dependency must be built with the v4l2 USE flag on.
