I only have a gspca webcam in my laptop and it's broken so I can't really be of much help. The only thing I recall is that it did not work
Ah. Y'know, you can pick up the things really cheaply - I think we got a bunch of these little cameras a few years before I started here, and *then* they were something like $10 or $20 each.
This built-in gspca webcam is the only one I've had problems with. The more expensive Logitech ones always worked fine for me.

The laptop just got a fresh F19 install. I just wiggled the webcam after
Well, the redhat list would be a better place to discuss that... but FC19 was just released. As I said to my manager's student, unless you *really* want to be an alpha or early beta tester, don't *EVER* install release x.0, always wait for at least x.01 or x.1....
starting Cheese and to my astonishment the green led lit up and Cheese showed something. The pic was very bad, interlaced and it seems to copy
Interlaced is usually a parameter you can change in a config option.
everything 3 times horizontally while overlapping those images. I set it to 320x240 and no change. So also in F19 at least my gspca webcam is not working very well.
Which gspca driver is installed (lsmod | grep gspca)? And it might require exporting LD_PRELOAD with v4lcompat.so or v4l2convert.so.
