And then there are several levels where webacms are supported or not 
supported. For example I got webcam messenger to work on FC3 sort of but 
have not yet found any application that actually works with it the way I 
want. I can "preview" my handsome face but I can not get any capture 
software to capture it to disk in sane format.

One quite nice but out of date presentation for suppor/no support can be 
found:
