I'm on CentOS these days not FC but similar enough to be worth an
answer. I use quickcam PRO 4000 webcams which use the pwc kernel
driver with no messing around. For capturing I used to use a program
simply called webcam that was part of xawtv, but now I use camE
instead. Handily camE is packaged by Dag Wieers for FC for you (and I
use his el4 version, thanks Dag!):
