Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lib32v4l-0
Ok, this is really hard to pinpoint.... Since moving to Intrepid 32bit
(fresh install) on my Dell XPS m1330 laptop, I am experiencing severe
webcam troubles both with the build-in cam that uses uvcvideo as well as
with an external gspca cam that announces itself using the "sonixj"
driver.
Video used to work for both cams for Flash 10, Skype and Ekiga, but
since playing with Cheese and coming across bug #290506 it has stopped
working in nearly all cases. They sporadically worked again for short
periods but not realiably.
I get many diverse error messages. Cheese sometimes segfaults, Skype
complains "process `skype' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT".
The diverse range of applications affected leads me to believe that this
is either a bug in V4L in general, in our implementation of that or
maybe even in gstreamer as some people have suggested in other reports
I've seen.
I am happy to provide as much input and log files as needed, I njust
don't have enough experience with the video stack to know where to start
in this case.
