Hello Stranger!
What distro? Something new? What app do you want to use?
Yea, it might matter. I have a CHEAP Vue and it wasn't working too
well (still cores Cheese) but works for G+ Hangouts and other apps. I
am using Fedora 16 and it works out of the box.
Earlier distros required some module building from source.
