Yes, it is :) I tried removing and replacing the gspca driver a few times, 
following these emails, and indeed the webcam does not work with the gspca 
driver. The pwc driver works, *sometimes*, and I have no idea what is causing 
it to fail. Sometimes I get a blue screen in the Kopete setup window, 
sometimes I get a black screen. Other times I get a picture as it sould be. 
It seems fairly random!

Fortunately, I bought the webcam as a static weather camera (one picture every 
2 minutes or so), and this function it performs admirably, with the pwc 
driver under FC5 kernel 2.6.17-1.2174.

I think my previous message to this list regarding the failure of the driver 
under the latest FC5 kernel, 2.6.17-1.2187, probably went missing. However, I 
should probably try again with the newest version of pwc (which I now have, 
from snapshot 10/10 as per Peter Baitz' email - sorry it didn't fix the 
Kopete problem!) before complaining again.
