First of all, is your camera a UVC device ? See http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/faq/ If it is, could you please send me the output of lsusb -v -d 0402:5602 running as root if possible ? > Now I trying from live CD Ubuntu 11.04 and finally the Cheese program run > (with before distribution, nothing run with this camera), but the image > isn't good. It is too dark, is there anyone that can help me? Most cameras have exposure and brightness controls. Have you tried modifying them ? If Cheese doesn't offer those options, try qv4l2 or v4l2-ctl. > And another question why i can see the image only with Cheese, and not with > Skype? With Skype the camera not run because the led is off, Skype search > the camera in this path /dev/video0. Possibly because Cheese uses libv4l to convert the format returned by the camera to a more usable format. You can try forcing Skype to use libv4l by preloading it. In a nutshell, run LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype Search 'libv4l skype' on Google for additional information. > P.S.
