I think the latter doesn't work with V4L2... Yes, this was the problem. The port multimedia/pwcview was not installed as it conflicts with multimedia/pwcbsd; I deleted this and multimedia/pwcview works fine; btw: I only use pwcview to set the frame rate of my cam to 25 before starting Skype; is there some better way to set it per default to this value?
