Two problems.
First, I don't know if the c-qcam kernel driver actually works.
Secondly, the app need to implement handling of non-dma devices such
as the c-qcam. The v4l vic:s I've seen don't.
There is however a special linux RH 6.0 c-qcam userspace version of vic
(must be run as root or suid root) at ftp://ftp.cdt.luth.se/mbone/Linux.
