Drivers
- Ideally, your webcam will be supported by the UVC (USB Video Class) drivers that are included in recent kernels. You just need to build the correct drivers as mentioned here.
- 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 / ptlib (ptlib is for recent Ekiga versions) dependency must be built with the v4l2 USE flag on.
- I did not manage to get full screen working in Ekiga 3.2.5 yet. The key is F11 but the option is greyed out in the menu.
