Bug Description
I am using a Sony Vaio SZ laptop with Ricoh inbuilt webcam which functioned fairly well (not with all applications - ekiga, camorama and cheese didn't work) with kernel 2.6.24-16.
Today upgraded to kernel 2.6.24-17 and cannot get webcam to work. In Skype and XawTV, for example, cannot use webcam. But if I boot into previous kernel I manage to use these with no problem.
