Check your permissions, try as root, check that the device is not open
when you detect the device... Check that you have a /proc/video/dev
directory containing the available devices.

Assuming that permissions are correct and that /proc/video/dev is also
correct, if GnomeMeeting doesn't recognize the webcam, it is simply
because it tried to open it and that it failed. If it failed, that is
not GnomeMeeting dependant, not pwlib dependant, but driver dependant.
