Try saving the attached file as /etc/hal/fdi/information/10-quickcam.fdi and then plug the webcam in. (I couldn't test it with cheese since the quickcam-module currently does not build with the 2.6.26 kernel from intrepid)
This however is only a workaround specific to your device and /dev-path. My cam for example would be /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_46d_840_noserial and other people might have more than one cam so it might not be /dev/video0 for them. ** Attachment added: "10-quickcam.fdi" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15737377/10-quickcam.fdi -- hal does not detect Quickcam Express as v4l-device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
