10.3) and it do not need any manual configuration. I usually user tvtime
My webcam require the driver gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz to work

Interesting if I load the TVcard module amsn and gqcam showing television has
webcam, and If i load gspca my tv car disappear (is not important if I have
loaded before tv card module)
This issues appear too hard for me!!!
thanks in advance for any help.
