For just testing the webcam video I used the 'ucview' command (it's in
the ucview package). As mentioned in the old thread, I have a Logitech
webcam, on a PC not a notebook though, and the ucview command detects
the webcam fine, and displays what the webcam sees (basically me looking
at my monitor!).
I'll check that program, thanks. I forgot to mention that Cheese
doesn't show images of the camera either. I don't know if the two
problems could be related.
I've been using skype from home to work using both audio and video. The
only problem I had was getting audio to work, one setting in skype
needed to be changed, then audio worked.
I have similar problems due to the pulseaudio mess.
Skype package is: skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586
John.
