Here I have to butt in.  I did do my homework, and went shopping with a 
printout in my hand.  The webcam I bought was the latest one to be added to 
the list, and it simply said 'working'.  Unfortunately that was all the info 
I could get.  When I got it home I found that I could not tell which chipset 
it used, so I had no idea what driver it needed.  Fortunately some kind soul 
found that bit for me, and I could get a driver for it.  After all that, it 
works, but the picture is not good, having severe colour distortion.  Just to 
add to the mix - I can set up the webcam in amsn, kopete or ekiga, and all of 
them need a different setting to get anything like acceptable colour.

I'm not bitching - I've spoken to the amsn team and offered to help in any way 
I can in tracking down the problem - but problems there certainly are.
