I use a logitech quickCam Express:Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
I have run updates, installed gspca-source, tried LD_PRELOAD...and other workarounds suggested in this thread.
Camorama works for me. I cannot get skype or gyachi to work. Both programs recognize the device. Skype will dump if I try to launch the cam. Gyachi reports the device does not support capture.
~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
Skype V4L: Device does not support video capture
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 17
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 57
Skype Xv: No suitable overlay format found
