Salix-XFCE4-13.37 on HP-2133 netbook.

I was not able to make wxcam work properly. At times it would open only to stop or hang
at times no picture would show. Looking for /dev/video0 when there was none only a /dev/video1.
If I then would make a symlink to /dev/video0 wxcam would work only to hang again after a while.

"Solved" the problem by installing cheese. Tested it extensively, does not hang just keeps on
working.

May be cheese should be added to the repo.
