Woops, got delayed a bit. Findings:
 - get a Logitech QC E1000 for < 15 bucks,
 - plug it in,
 - profit!

Almost, actually. AFAICT from googling around, around 2.6.27, some
palettes stuff were added, and many applications can't talk V4L2 yet, so
they need some bits of help to use recent drivers; for that matter, some
.so (to be used through LD_PRELOAD) come to the rescue:
| LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so $application

I've been able to view stuff using mplayer that way:
| mplayer tv:// -v driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0

I've also started playing around with motion, which writes to many files
when stuff happens in front of the camera.

Fnu ahead!

Ah, and I'm on 2.6.29-1-amd64, I almost forgot. ;)

Mraw,
KiBi.
