ekiga can show the output of my webcam...even VLC can.
on opening cheese the light of webcam starts to glow...but the picture does not come.
it seems to be doing something because it does not quit easily. i have to force it to quit.h inspiron 1525 webcam
even opening it as root does not help.
i think cheese was working in live cd environment.
Camorama says "Could not connect to video device (/dv/video0) Please check connection".
this happens to me too (i've an inspiron 1525 too)
