Webcams?

[Shawn Coomey]

As a semi-newbie, can you give me some direction on how to set up and 
use the camera?

Here's what Ive got now:
Quickcam VC
pwcx-ppc loaded as module
Video4Linux compiled in

Basically, I don't know how to load the driver/get it to control the 
cam, or where in /dev the cam is connected.

Thanks!

Shawn
