Skype Webcam problems

[Moshe Brace using Yahoo]

No go with the Mandriva 2009.0 regarding the Webcam. I unfortunately
don't remember what I did but for one time I actually got a picture in
the Preview. 



I think in the /etc/modprobe.d  I added a line 


"options quickcam compatible=6" as I saw in www.linuxquestions.org 



I also tried both



LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4compat.so Skype



LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v42convert.so Skype









I have a Quickcam Chat 8.4.8



In Mandriva 2008.1 Spring edition I had a Pixart PAC2007 connected quite successfully.



Anybody got any ideas. Funny though Ekiga and Cheese the Camera works
OK with a very clear sharp picture no green and flashing screen. 

I have
a feeling that Skype doesn't know where the device is; In the Skype
options it has



Camera /dev/device0
