I have managed to get my webcam - a Logitech model - working using the
gspca drivers from http://mxhaard.free.fr/ . However, everytime there
is a new kernel available I have to recompile it. Is it available on a
repo like Livna have done with the nVidia drivers and kmod-nvidia.

I like leaving it as it is, so I can recompile (which takes less than a
minute) to have it immediately available.

That's probably what I'll do then. It's not as if it takes ages to compile.

Secondly, even though I can view the output of the webcam in the
configuration window in Kopete, I can't get anyone else to see it and I
can't view anyone else's that are online.

I finally beat that problem some time ago, but for the life of me, I
cannot remember exactly what I did. Have you tried ekiga yet?

I haven't tried ekiga yet, but as an update I have managed to send and view
a webcam in Kopete over yahoo. Still can't get anything on msn though.

I have had my Lifetec LT9388 webcam (ov511 driver) working on aMSN.
http://www.amsn-project.net/

I built it from a source tarball on FC5, and just looked at the livna repo,
but it doesn't appear to be available there for FC5, or FC6.

May be worth a look on the aMSN site.

I don't think I tried the webcam on Kopete. Oh yes I did, and have just looked
on Debian that has Kopete 0.12.3 (Using KDE 3.5.5), and all I get is a
strange green background with an odd black sort of logo on it, when looking
in config>devices with the webcam selected as default.

If you've got yahoo working with the webcam on Kopete, you've obviously got
further than me, but it does work on aMSN.
