==== How can I use my usb webcam on dyne:bolic? ====

You have to activate the camera loading its kernel module, depending on the webcam you've got:
        
 *for '''logitech/dexxa''' quickcams the module is ''mod_quickcam'' and is installed by typing, at terminal:
 
 ''modprobe mod_quickcam''

 *for '''philips''' webcams the module is ''pwc'':
 
 ''modprobe pwc''

 *for other webcams, please refer to the [http://www.linux-usb.org linux-usb] site.
        
'''Please note''' that hasciicam and freej '''don't''' support philips webcams.

Once the module is loaded, you will get a device called ''/dev/v4l/video0''

For convenience, you could also make a link to it:

''ln -sf /dev/v4l/video0 /dev/video''
