Luvcview is the reference application. So if your webcam works with
that, and even with Skype, I would say "it works".

I think you may have to file a bug report with Cheese.
Camorama is known not to support V4L2.

OTOH, mplayer usually works, and I think so does wxCam (which has
rather peculiar requirements to build though).
