OK so I am ok for "pwc".

I added the information as followed (extracted from 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=28533&highlight=dev+video)

In /etc/devfsd.conf (in which lines 1 and 2 were alreday present):
# Video4Linux devices
REGISTER       v4l/.*       PERMISSIONS root.video 660

LOOKUP         ^video$      CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${mntpnt}/v4l/video0 
video
REGISTER       ^v4l/video0  CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${devpath} video
UNREGISTER     ^v4l/video0  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink video


/dev contains video -> /dev/v4l/video0 but v4l was not generated (MAKEDEV 
cannot be run due to the presence of a .devfsd file). The file v4l was 
temporarilly generated but on reboot disappeared...
Well I am continuing so that if I have news I informed the list.

Thank you in advance for any further information. My best. Thierry.
