I thought the reason it doesn't work was just that the linuxolator doesn't support v4l2? Anyway, the webcamd port now installs manpages for the Linux drivers it uses so you can also look there to find out if a particular webcam (or dvb tuner) might work. Look at SEE ALSO in webcamd's manpage. HTH, Juergen (who doesn't use webcams here, only dvb tuners and an mceusb ir receiver/transmitter... :)
