I'm taking a course where everyone in the class has to have a their cam working. I use Fedora 9 but cheese only displays bold lines and a small box of snow. The web meeting is tomorrow and I don't feel like installing Windows in a VW just for this course. Help-your see my webcam description and kernel info:

Look up the gspca driver. I would expect FC9 to have that available, but if not you'll have to download and install it. This presumes this driver supports your camera, but you didn't provide enough information to tell about that. Supported cams are listed on the gspca website.

vwtech,
Fedora 9 does not seem to have the correct gspca driver included.
