ok its uses gspca...now the k 2.6.28 series has better support so I suggest you try installing that.



next you are on a Mdv so use MCC to install libv4l-0



then




	Code:
	LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
change camorama to skype or whatever you are using.



this is because the kernel is up to date but the applications don't yet know how to handle it without help.

[root at localhost ~]# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so skype

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded:

What happens is before I can type the second line

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4lcompat.so



Skype appears on the screen but the camera is test shows now Green speckles in the video area after enabling video.
With the programme Ekiga the camera shows a picture although the colour is not correct, Skype with enabled
video now shows green only! 



With the programme Ekiga the camera works fine although the colour is not correct, but Skype with enabled video now shows green only! 

Can anyone recommend a Webcam that will work with Skype? Or is there a VOIP programme that will work with the Camera besides Ekiga?

You can find the dkms-*.rpm here:

http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/code/

Please download it and then install using urpmi.

I build it from an .src.rpm I found on rpmfind.net by following the Mandriva 
link on the site.
