I'm trying to get something from my old Philips PCVC680K (Vesta Pro) USB
webcam in FC5. I tried ekiga, camstream, camE, and xawtv, but still get

I don't know if that matters, but I notice something that could be
interesting in xawtv's output:

# xawtv -hwscan

X.org is running w/ ATI's fglrx video drivers. According
to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the XVideo, XFree86-DGA modules are initialized, as
well as fglrx's DRI and VideoOverlay features.
