When I was referring to a camera, I was referring to the "MotionEye" camera
built into the VAIO. Only in recent kernels (2.4.7+) did they add proper
support for the PIC chip in there to use the camera. Currently, the camera
is treated as a special V4L device, but it only works with XawTV when it's
window is 640x480x32bit color. Besides, I can't use it like a camera like
what I was doing on the ME side, so I'm going to write my own camera capture
program.
