Thanks for the proper guidance.

This is my first time to setup the webcam in linux. So far I have
updated kernel and able to install the pacakages from rpm. It is
working (checked with kopete).
My camera have a video input and I can choose the source (either cam
or from input) in windows machine. But I am not able to find how to do
this here in FC5. Kopete setting shows  me only one input. Is there a
way to do this?
My purpose for this is I am getting the output from my TV so that I
can watch some news right here in my desktop through VLC.

Thanks all for the suggestions!

Good day!
