Hi Laurent,

here are new ideas for FAQ:

- - I got a new webcam or laptop with build in cam, but it's not
working, what should i do?

UVC (usb video class) is same kind standard class like UMS (usb mass
storage). One of good UMS examples is usb stick. If you will need to
install driver to use usb stick it will make no sense and if it is not
working on linux it is most probably broken.

Same situation is with UVC webcams. *If it is not working with modern
linux distribution or any modern linux kernel, then  this device is
most probably broken!* And if you still can, then give or send it back!

- - With app XYZ my webcam is not working, is my cam or app is broken?

there are different apps to test webcam: luvcview, guvcview, cheese,
mplayer, vlc, skype.
We prefer to test it with luvcview or guvcview.
The cams can also support different formats, yuv, jpeg, ... in this
case try different.


PS: Please add reminder on first page: read FAQ before send email.

Regards,
Alexey
