[AG-TECH] Webcam on FC2

[Michael Miller]

Doug,

That explains why yum clean all fixed my problem.  Also, the thumbnail 
thing is a problem with no thumbnail for my video at all.  It's not in the 
vic producing the vic, nor is it in the display vic.  But alas, my kernel 
is only kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2, so, I will try upgrading that and see what 
happens.
