Hi there .... Cheese is an app I never use except to give it a test. The other day I was showing my Dell Mini 10v to a friend, and Cheese said that it couldn't find the camera (built into the netbook). I re-installed Cheese, and also gstreamer. I then rebooted and still Cheese says 'no device found'. dmesg and lshw don't show anything that looks like a webcam (to me) but I'm not really sure what I should be seeing. The thing is, the netbook is still under warranty, and I want to find out as much as I can before I tell Dell there is a faulty camera. To send it back to Dell, I will have to back up my system and restore the version of the software that Dell supplied as it came with 8.04 and I'm running 10.04. Obviously if I do that and it doesn't work, the fault will be in the hardware, but if there's an easier way to test for a hardware fault I want to do that first!!!
