Thanks for the help but this did not work for me. In skype when i start my video to someone else it is just a black picture. There are no errors or anything. The green light on the webcam lights up, but the picture is just black :(.
So sad. I have to keep two versions of Ubuntu 9.04 that I use mainly and if someone wants to talk in Skype with me I reboot into 8.04. I've been using Ubuntu since 5.04, I got this machine around 6.10. Up to 7.10 the webcam wasn't working by default I had to install drivers to make it work... In 7.10 and 8.04 the camera works out of the box I was so so happy and you actually see improvement. Than regression 8.10, 9.04... ;(( and no fix on the horizon. Can't even make it work compiling drivers and stuff.
