Bug Description
Using a Quickcam communicate Deluxe with Ubuntu 8.10
I am using Intrepid since beta and my webcam was working fine everywhere.
However recently it stopped working in skype. The webcam does seem to turn on as usual but I get a white square instead of the webcam image...
Here is what I get if I launch Skype from the commandline and I try to test it under "Options" > "video devices"
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 32
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 280
-----------------
In chesse I get strange behaviours... It works and the quality is as usual but it takes a good 15s before displaying the webcam video !
In Ekiga I can see the webcam fine whith no delay.
Please tell me if you want me to include other log file
Hope this report is useful
Skype is unsupported, as it is proprietary.
Assigning package to cheese.
