The /etc/group file has the following line (both in Maemo and, by design, in the chroot):

Code:

So does camorama work for you Deblet guys?

EDIT: The problem is straightforward, I think. The camera is NOT a v4l device. It is a v4l2 device, with no backwards compatibility for v4l1. So only programs which can handle v4l2 will work with the camera. And there aren't a lot of those.
