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.
