Well, I was just using mplayer to test as I thought it may
have a solid V4L2 implementation, apparently I was wrong...

Yeah, indeed, luvcview did succeed to initialize the camera.
Ekiga by itself did not, but after I ran luvcview, Ekiga
was able use it. But after some experimenting with Ekiga
(turning cam off and on) sometimes it failed, then I
reran luvcview and then it started to work again.

The tcl/tk-based MSN client "amsn" also failed to get the
camera to work, even after it has been initialized with
luvcview.

So practically I could not use the camera for anything
good although it theoretically works. Does this count?

Thanks,

Sab
