Hi Chris , it seems that not only phillipe who faced this problem, as am facing it with some usb webcam here, a4tech and labtec.
I'm using the latest versions of accessgrid , and the problem still not solved, also am working on ubuntu 9.10 , with Nvidia graphic card.The cameras are working fine with other softwares like cheesa, but when it comes to accessgrid , i see the exact pic in phillipe's attachment , so what would cause the problem here ?
