im using Ubuntu 11.10 with a QuickCam Chat webcam

 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:092e Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Chat

on vlc (v4l2) the image is pretty good and not dark; it seems to work
also with empathy (but i don't tested too much)

also the webcam led is not always on as in previous versions of ubuntu,
but only if in use, that is pretty nice

unfortunately is not working with skype (beta version 2.2.0.35) (the 
/dev/video0 is selected but i got no video even if i press the button to start 
the video,in the settings or during calls)
is strange because in older version of skype i had the same webcam working. 
(skype team should solve this as long as is closed software?)

i cannot try the webcam with Cheese because it crashes everytime i launch the 
program, maybe this is a bug of Cheese
(cheese:5273): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to 
find suitable fbconfig for the GLX context: Unable to find fbconfig with rgba 
visual


ps: v4l2ucp says driver is spca561
