and I use easycam2 install the driver in ubuntu 8.04.
but when I install ubuntu 8.10, ubuntu 8.10 will install the driver gspca, and I found it use module gspca_zc3xx,
it work prefect in cheese too. but it doesn't work in skype , skype show snow screen.

Till the solution is released, I solved the skype problem with this post of Alejandro Vargas:

http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=a5cc6d5a8769cb4fe5d34fe70bb93a79&showtopic=225971

The solution for this problem (and may be with other webcams with similar problems) is this (thanks to Hans de Goede for writing this libraries):

1) check http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html and download the lastest version of the libraries. Now it is:

2) $ wget http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.1.tar.gz

3) unpack the tar:
$ tar zcvf libv4l-0.5.1.tar.gz

4) make and install:
$ make; sudo make install

5) run skype preloading some of the new libraries:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4lconvert.so:/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype

or add: "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4lconvert.so:/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" to your init scripts and run skype normally.

This libraries hacks the access to video devices and makes the needed conversions in userspace.
