Hello,
I have a Philips Toucam Pro II (840k) and I have exactly the same problem : xawtv works flawlessly with it but I only got a black screen in the 'configure' menu of Kopete.
I'm using (on Debian Testing) the latest pwc driver (10.0.12-rc1) and the latest svn Kopete (downloaded today) on the stable 3.4 branch (it's still written 0.12.3 in the about menu).
Linux kernel is 2.6.17.
It seems that it's somewhat possible to make it work :

But I haven't got a clue of why it isn't working here.
Attached is the log output of kopete, nothing seems to be wrong except a m_buffer_size of 0 and something about YUV ou RGB format.
If someone has managed to use Kopete or has some hints, please help ! ;-)
Regards,
