# ls /dev |grep vid gets no hits.
$ uvcdynctrl -l
Listing available devices:
No devices found.
I had similar problems some years ago, but I forget the details. I
assume this is not specific to guvcview since cheese has similar
problems. vlc does not seem to find the (built-in) webcam.
I tried modprobe'ing some likely video drivers including uvcvideo without
success.

Closing this bug: I had forgotten that this bios has a switch to
disable the webcam: which was the problem.
