Bug Description

Binary package hint: camorama

On Acer Aspire One and Ubuntu 8.10
When starting camorama, this message is presented:
Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)
Please check connection.

I have checked that there is a /dev/video0. I also tested to chmod it a+rw, but no difference.

I have also tested cheese and xawtv and cheese. It works in xawtv but not in cheese.
