Yes, you are right the logs do not show anything suspicious, but it does not change the fact the cam does not work neither on ekiga, cheese nor xawtv, as exposed in previous email. Also this package is outdated, so please update and use reportbug to add proper informations to the bug. I reported the bug checking the last and current Debian squeeze package, linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 (2.6.32-9) Do you mean I must check if this bug is present too in the package at Debian sid, linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 (2.6.32-15) ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Have you tried running the apps with:- LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so This forces the old v4l interface. I had a similar problem with getting skype to use a webcam.

David After rebooting it works. Both xawtv, ekiga and cheese work perfectly. I think I had not rebooted after the Debian squeeze kernel update some days ago. You can close this bug.
