Only with V4L2

It works with the uvcvideo driver, which requires v4l2. Many applications still only support v4l1, but this is changing.

It works very good.

Skype works with it, as for aMSN and Kopete. The webcam has some issues with color, but I don’t know if the problem comes from the webcam or the UVC driver — i’ve not yet tested that on Vista.

Has worked, but doesn’t work right now. I put this laptop into hibernation before testing the webcam just now, so it’s possible it doesn’t work after coming out of hibernation.
