I followed the procedure pointed to above: "Fabian, the bug you have is not entirely based on the libv4l issue. First of all you have to get rid of zc0301 to be able to use gspca_zc3xx, and then apply LD_PRELOAD=v4.... it is not enough to blacklist, you have to compile a new version of gspca
see here for a complete solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/293259"; The procedure to do it is at: (http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca_README.txt) When I ran the "make config" part of the procedure a lot of questions were asked. I took the defaults (just hit return) for most of the questions but I answered "m" (for make) at the question to make zc3xx in the gscpa section. then ran just "make" and then (as root) "make install" as directed. I re-booted at this point, don't know if this is actually necessary. Prior to this I had followed (as above): "Now also Cheese and Skype: Upgrading libv4l-0 to from 0.5.0-3~intrepid1 to 0.5.3-1~dooz1 (found in https://launchpad.net/~lool/+archive), then unloading and loading uvcvideo (sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo && sudo modprobe uvcvideo), made cheese and skype work without needed any preloading or other hacks." At the pointed-to website I copied the: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lool/ubuntu intrepid main line and pasted it into Apt Line in synaptic "settings>repositories>Third Party Software>Add Then did a reload and an update appeared immediately which I downloaded.
