I just upgraded from Hardy (8.04) to Intrepid (8.10) and now I have this very same bug, it used to work fine.

proycon@castor:~$ lsusb | grep Cam
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect

proycon@castor:~$ lsmod | grep gspca

usbcore 175376 8 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,gspca_zc3xx,gspca_main,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd

It only works if I use v4l2 instead of v4l, but some apps like Skype and Camorama now can't deal with my cam.

Mplayer outputs a warning and crashes at a later stage:

 WARNING: YOU ARE USING V4L DEMUXER WITH V4L2 DRIVERS!!!
 As the V4L1 compatibility layer is broken, this may not work.
 If you encounter any problems, use driver=v4l2 instead.
 Bugreports on driver=v4l with v4l2 drivers will be ignored

It seems I now have a different driver than in hardy which is v4l2 only or something?
