I finally found a bug report for my cam, which uses spca561 if I understood well. I managed to see my face on the screen (yippee!) by downloading https://edge.launchpad.net/%7Estemp/+archive/+files/libv4l_0.5.0-1_i386.deb and typing "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype"
Wilson, I think you should try that, because you seems to have the same problem as me (according to what you wrote in your linked forum).
How much time will we need to use this trick, that's the new question...
Thanks again,

Gaël
