Bug Description
I use webcam, and it's id is here:
046d:08af
I think this is Logitech product, and when I use ubuntu 8.04, it work prefect, I can use it in cheese and skype .
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.
I think this is not skype issue, I think of this is v4l2 or gspca issue.
and I just can submit those informations, and how to submit more information?

Till the solution is released, I solved the skype problem with this post of Alejandro Vargas:
http:// forum.skype. com/index. php?s=a5cc6d5a8 769cb4fe5d34fe7 0bb93a79& 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/libv4lconve rt.so:/ usr/local/ lib/libv4l/ v4l2convert. so skype
or add: "export LD_PRELOAD= /usr/local/ lib/libv4lconve rt.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.
