I am using Skype with video, when I test the webcam in the configuration window all I see is a blue screen. I have the video set to auto start on conversation start, when I call someone, they can see me, but if they share there webcam with me, it shows up as being blue. If They call me, however we can both see each other.
I think this may be connected to the fact that in order to view my own webcam with luvcview I must specify "disable SDL hardware accel" with the "-w" switch, or it displays as all blue also. Also, Video playback in VLC does not work with the "default" option, but it does if I use the "X11" output.
I am on a Thinkpad X61 with Suse 11.0 64bit, and integrated Intel graphics.
Not 100% sure it is the same problem I had, but looks very similar. There is a known issue with skype 2.0.0.72, if it is dynamically linked with qt. The workaround is to install statically linked version of skype. It works for me.
I had different problems with Skype 2.0.0.72, like buttons being active but invisible. Most of them (but not all) were solved by using Qt v4.4.3 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0/. May be worth trying.
