Hello there,

I've got a Logitech Quickcam E 3500 and I am running Kubuntu hardy (8.04). The 
camera works pretty well together with Skype and some other programs. 

But recently, I tried out some FOSS voip clients and I had some major problems 
with it. First I thought, this is an issue of the voip programs. But since 
the error reports seem to be very similar to me, I am starting to wonder, 
whether it can be a bug in the (ubuntu) uvc driver:

* http://trac.qutecom.org/ticket/18
* https://sip-communicator.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=487

The cam doesn't work with camorama either. A friend of mine, who runs Kubuntu 
(8.10) intrepid, has got the same problems with that camera.

Today another friend of mine took that camera, sticked it into his Gentoo 
machine and captured a video with "mplayer tv://" seamlessly. If I issue this 
command, I get:

Do you have an idea, what can be the reason for all of this? I'd appreciate 
any comment or advice.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards, micu
