Hello
I have a quickcam, as well, and it doesn't work with Skype, but maybe I
found a new clue. It's like Skype it's reading the image in YUV format,
despite the "torgb" setting of the driver.
Let me explain this one better.
This is the ID of the cam:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# lsusb | grep -i quick
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0850 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Web
and this are the current settings:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# qcset -i
Name : Logitech QuickCam USB
Type : capture subcapture
Channels : 1
Audio devices : 0
Maxsize : 356,292
Minsize : 32,32

Now, using gqcam, setting RGB in the preferences and pushing "Apply",
the image is ok (files: "Screenshot-gqcam - Logitech QuickCam USB.png"
and "Screenshot-gqcam.png"). If I select YUV instead, and press "Apply",
the resulting image is pretty similar to what you get in other programs,
e.g.: skype.
Note also that the wecam started misbehaving right after I switched from
Debian testing to Ubuntu 7.04, nearly one year ago. The same webcam with
the same driver and the same version of Skype worked flawlessly in
Debian. The same thing happened to Wengophone, that worked ok with that
webcam until I switched to Ubuntu.
I hope this information is useful to catch the problem.
Ciao
