[LAU] webcam with Linux

Greetings,

I purchased a Logitech QuickCam Communicate MP, which is apparently
supported by the gspca driver. However, I've made the rather surprising
discovery that webcam support is *not* a feature of the 64 Studio and
JAD distributions. Ouch.

So if I'm right it appears that I'll have to recompile the kernel for
V4L support. Am I correct to assume this ? And after I've done so, I
should be able to run the v4l software in the Debian and OpenSUSE repos,
yes ?

If you've used a webcam under one of the Linux rt systems, please
advise, it would be most appreciated.

Best,

dp
