hi,

have creative optia pro webcam , have been trying work in skype.

have been going through ubuntu webcam related pages , far:

- tried cheese doesn't seem work (hangs up, turns gray, crashes.
- skype doesn't pick device
- vlc seems capture , play fine through video linux 2 default device capture option
- tried running code suggested skype create new loader v4l, didn't anything.

read normal optia worked ok 7.10 skype installing uvc drivers:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/skypewebcams

read drivers included in new kernals default shouldn't need install them.

ken
