It took awhile, but I am back. In the mean time, I upgraded to FC8.
I started again with Ekiga and had the same problems. I was able to fins and install a driver (don't ask how - I am not sure what worked). I unplugged the camera and plugged it back it. Fedora recognized it ( gmesg | tail). Back in Ekiga, I went to the video preferences and got the same errors
Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the color formats supported by Ekiga.
Please check your kernel driver documentation in order to determine which Palette is supported.
I think the driver is gspca
lsmod | grep video
videodev 28097 1 gspca
v4l2_common 18625 1 videodev
v4l1_compat 15941 1 videodev
Where do I go from here?
Thanks

What helped me was to start ekiga, unplug the camera, plug it back in
and then suddenly ekiga picked it up (I also had gotten the color
palette error before). After I once successfully configured it, it
just seems to work.
Hope it helps,
