If problems arise it is also worth having a look at the GSPCA driver [http://moinejf.free.fr/ maintainer's website].

Skype uses the old V4L1 interface which requires the '''v4l1compat''' library to be preloaded. The command for this would simply be:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

instead of just

skype

Or, on a Debian/Ubuntu 64-bit machine, Skype should be started thus:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

You can replace the commands of your Skype menu item from 'skype' to one of the lines above.

On a 64-bit machine Skype shall be started something similar like

# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

if you would like to use the webcam for video.
