That's the whole point. Not everything works fine. There are a lot of imporvements that can be made, and would be made, if open-source writers could write their own drivers for the graphics cards.

Open source is about doing things because you _want_ to. If you want GAIM webcam support, write it yourself. You can't _make_ others do it, because they're doing it because they want to. If they don't, they won't.
