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

Applications

  • In Ekiga, in order to use v4l2 the pwlib dependency must be built with the v4l2 USE flag on.
