Comment 9 for bug 274973

I'm facing some problems with web-cam detection and Ubuntu intrepid ;-)

Did you test your webcam with cheese ? Its works ? I use quite the same same strategy for webcam detection as this software.

In another point, I read that libv4l should be upgraded to version 0.5.7 and kernel to version 2.6.27-11. I read this out here :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/290506 and more precisely the info is at this comment : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/290506/comments/157. It has solved some problems but not all problems.

In hardy I have an "old" webcam, a labtec one, who runs with v4lsrc and not with v4l2src. In intrepid the v4l2src detect the labtec webcam, but the display is ugly. and I can nom more use v4lsrc for this webcam. I make my test with gstreamer and gst-launch.

Do you if your philips webcam use v4ksrc or v4l2src ? same question for your Logitech QuickCam ?

With a Phillps SPC1030NC, webcam is used with v4l2src, and operates correctly.
