What about it? Something like:
Q: Quickcam driver doesn't work. What should I do?
A: Try using "qcset compat=dblbuf"
Would this be OK, I can't think of anything more specific myself?
If this parameter is required, the driver should already
print instructions about what to do into kernel logs. Of
course, unfortunately not everyone can look it from there.

I don't think the above FAQ entry would help at all: xawtv should
work fine without the option. The error message also should be different.
Something else is probably wrong. Check /dev/video0 permissions and major
and minor number
(quick solution:
rm -f /dev/video0
mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
chmod a+r /dev/video0
ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video
ls -la /dev/video0
and this _is_ in the FAQ).

Ciao, ciao. I guess this means "hello". For the rest I can just to guess.
