Hello Johan. I've done some looking into this before, and if you checkout my Linux Compatible Webcams Guide you will see that if you use a Logitec c210 which is a UVC camera - and the driver for UVC devices is already built into the newer Linux kernel. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=240812 "However, the current Linux 2.6.26 kernel and newer includes the Linux UVC driver natively. So you will not need to download and compile any driver module source if you purchase a UVC compatible webcam. It should be Plug-n-Play like any other USB device" It looks Like RH may have backported the UVC drivers into the kernel, as I can use my Logitec webcam OK under Skype :) [root at karsites ~]# rpm -qv kernel kernel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-238.19.1.el5 [root at karsites ~]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046d:0802 Logitech, Inc.
