LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
When I typed the above into System Control Panel - Console with root password
the Logitech Quickcam worked OK. However I doubt that without root the camera
will work in Skype. Is there away to set Mandriva to do this without having to
type this each time?
Any Ideas?

No go with the Mandriva 2009.0 regarding the Webcam. I unfortunately
don't remember what I did but for one time I actually got a picture in
the Preview.
I think in the /etc/modprobe.d I added a line
"options quickcam compatible=6" as I saw in www.linuxquestions.org
I also tried both
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4compat.so Skype
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v42convert.so Skype
I have a Quickcam Chat 8.4.8
In Mandriva 2008.1 Spring edition I had a Pixart PAC2007 connected quite
successfully.
Anybody got any ideas. Funny though Ekiga and Cheese the Camera works
OK with a very clear sharp picture no green and flashing screen.
I have
a feeling that Skype doesn't know where the device is; In the Skype
options it has
Camera /dev/device0
