[arch-general] How do I configure my webcamera?

[Carlos A M Filho]

Hi, everybody...

I tried to configure my webcamera by following the instructions in:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup

However it isn't working at all; programs like Cheese and Spcagui do not 
recognize any device.

Some information about this system:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-06-01 01:45 /dev/video0 -> v4l/video0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 2008-06-01 01:45 /dev/v4l/video0
