Interestingly, while video(1) itself is broken i managed to make firefox/webrtc talk to the webcam and use in from the browser some weeks ago, and it works right now on my x200s with an external uvideo using -current. (Same webcam on my x1 doesnt work but that's probably a conflict with the internal webcam which is broken for other reasons: "uvideo0: could not open VS pipe: INVAL") All that to say, maybe that means that video(1) can/should be adapted to use another method/encoding, because the camera itself works in firefox and is supported. If YUY2 and UYVY are not going to come back with modesetting...
