Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

Acer Aspire One, has Acer Crystal Eye webcam. This webcam worked in Kopete in Kubutnu Maverick, and works in Natty if I use Cheese, only Kopete can't see it.

dmesg | grep cam
[ 9.994117] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Acer Crystal Eye webcam (064e:d101)
[ 10.101611] input: Acer Crystal Eye webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/input/input6

Open Kopete and go to Settings, the Webcam tab lists no webcam.

In case it's relevant, I'm using the Xine backend for Phonon instead of GStreamer because the GStreamer backend doesn't play audio. I haven't tried to see if the webcam works when I select GStreamer as the backend because it has a habit of locking the machine up completely when I use Phonon with that backend.
