I have Intrepid Studio RT on a 386 machine with a built-in webcam.
My webcam does not work with Camorama but does work with Skype for Ubuntu Linux.

That's all I know. I got RT for the audio, not the video, so I haven't
experimented.

Subject: [LAU] webcam with Linux
Greetings,
I purchased a Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP, which is apparently
supported by the gspca driver. However, I've made the rather surprising
discovery that webcam support is *not* a feature of the 64 Studio and
JAD distributions. Ouch.
So if I'm right it appears that I'll have to recompile the kernel for
V4L support. Am I correct to assume this ? And after I've done so, I
should be able to run the v4l software in the Debian and OpenSUSE repos,
yes ?
If you've used a webcam under one of the Linux rt systems, please
advise, it would be most appreciated.
Best,
dp

There are two different video device APIs for Linux, V4L and V4L2. V4L
is both deprecated and very, very old, but for some reason people keep
writing drivers and software for both - some drivers work with V4L, some
work with V4L2, some programs work with V4L, some programs work with
V4L2. It's a mess.
