In skype no image, only green. I know the camera is working because in amsn I have video. In gsta-camera I have no video, exits with "no pipe", and cheese shows a test image (like on the tv), but no errors are shows. The option in cheese to select a video device is greyed out. I am member of the group video, so that is also not the cause. I installed 32bit versions of v4l libs to no avail, tried the LD_PRELOAD=xxx with skype, didn't work. To me it seems there are some apps or libraries missing that are needed for this webcam to work in certain (mainly gnome) apps, I use KDE. Have not found a solution yet.

I've tested openSuSE 11.2 GNOME LiveCD Milestone 6 with my webcam Creative PC-CAM 600. gspca_main and gspca_sunplus modules are loaded, but the device video is not created. After unloading both modules and loading them, the device video /dev/video0 appears.
Can you provide the dmesg output from this machine after unloading and loading the modules?
With ekiga I've selected my webcam model, but I haven't seen any image. With cheese I've seen images from my webcam, starting the application with this sintax: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese
What happens without the preload? Can you confirm that gstreamer-properties has the Video Plugin set to v4l2?
With skype the webcam video image is green, while with Adobe Flash Plugin the image is black
We can't fix those apps as they are closed source, sorry. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have the same problem with my Creative WebCam Live! in 11.2 (x86_64), has anyone found a solution for gspca based webcams?
Please file a separate bug and assign it to me (bphilips@novell.com) and provide the output from hwinfo. Also ensure you have libv4l installed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
