linux uvc video webcam support kernel 2.6.25
I thought the kernel had support for uvc webcams, but I cant get my webcam to work with the new kernel.
Anything I am missing?

The kernel itself doesn't support it (yet) AFAIK.
Most likely you need the linux-uvc package.

Re: linux uvc video webcam support kernel 2.6.25
The PKGBUILD in AUR is configured that it doesn't work with 2.6.25
The top comment (by imrehg on 20080410) proposes a new PKGBUILD which will (most likely) work.

Re: linux uvc video webcam support kernel 2.6.25
the driver was merged in kernel 2.6.26. just modprobe uvcvideo
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
