camorama cannot use my "Logitech Quickcam Messenger" webcam 046d:08da with gspca kernel module

[Levente Torok]

Binary package hint: camorama

Camorama 0.19, just like skype 2.1.0.81 used to handle my "Logitech Quickcam Messenger" 046d:08da webcam
but it cannot access it right now on Lucid Lynx.
Interestingly with gstreamer-properties I use my camera, it works with v4l2.

Kernel driver loaded perfectly.
[ 764.198055] gspca: probe ok
[ 764.198215] gspca: probing 046d:08da
[ 1189.143965] zc3xx: probe 2wr ov vga 0x0000

and skype lists as a possible video device but cannot test it.
