 Hello Maiku,

 Video4Linux did and does work with pidgin and my webcam. The only one not
 working was Video4Linux2.
 After more testing I can conclude that the problem is really with my
 webcam. It seems that it's not supported in V4l2.

 I wanted to test this with another webcam but I didn't had the time,
 sorry.

 You can close this ticket :)

 Thank you very much for your great help! If you need a beta tester just
 tell me, I'll be checking everyday for new revisions!

 Here is my debugging:
