Hi

I have a Logitech E3500 Webcam that worked very well in Hardy. (Though I'm very happy I upgraded to Intrepid as my graphics card, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, is working perfectly now and much faster...used to freeze up X often while using compiz)

The >> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2compat.so skype << trick works for me!

But it doesnt work for cheese. Neither does the v4l2convert.so option.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are trying these options I have noticed that if I try it with cheese (which doesn't work) first, then skype will not work until I unplug and plug in the webcam again. Cheese seems to break the webcam somehow until it is re-plugged!

Thanks for the tips on this page!
