Thank you, Felix, I have now uninstalled all devel packages, and looked at lsusb. All fine there, as far as I can see. The camera is working well with other applications. One remaining question of mine: > I have seen that there are plugins at > http://www.linphone.org/eng/download/. It says "We provide [the > following] codec plugins".

I have also read somewhere that there are versions of Linphone without video. But I have tried several versions. Unless I get some new info, I'll have to give up Linphone.
