The device appears;
| Quote: |
ls -l /dev/video*
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Mar 9 17:17 /dev/video0

but I don't get any video when I use Cheese to view it, but the device's blue led comes on. It doesn't seem to work in skype either.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
James |

Does it work as root?
If so, is the user you were trying it as in the "video" group?
