Just wondering...do you have Skype? IF so, does it work in there?<br><br>In EKiga - go to settings and in video devices, change the video plugin to V4L from V4L2. It should then work. If it does - let us know. V4L is a bit old and outdated, they're making use of V4L2 these days (Flash moved to V4L2, Skype I think use V4L2 only etc)<br>
<br>Your camera's quite outdated and I think they're moving onto V4L2 and I'm not certain if there is a driver available that make use of V4L2. I've got a Quickcam Pro 4000 around somewhere so if I find it I'll test but in my office in Croydon, I've got an even older and crappier Logitech webcam which I can test too.<br>
