Re: macbook 4.1 webcam not working

I'm on macbook 4.1 and the iSight has been working since the first time I installed Arch.

Have you done https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Macbook#iSight ?

Just make sure you have the extracted firmware

# ls /lib/firmware/isight.fw

and do a cold boot (not restart but shutdown then power-on).

I don't even have uvcvideo in rc.conf's MODULES() (but I got MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes")

Just a wild guess, have you try installing pommed ?
