Hello folks;

 I just joined after extensive googling and finally finding the message here
that the
Hercules Dualpix worked with skype, and indeed it does (skype 2.0b that
is..)

Now, I  have compiled and installed uvcvideo, V4L and just about anything
vaguely related from apt-get on my Debian lenny 2.6.22-3-k7
But Ekiga still says  my video driver doesn't support the requested format.
And camorama says my /dev/video0/   is not there
   when it most certainly is  -- and it sure looks like a device; too.?
Should my webcam work outside of skype ? I

When I plug it in, I get "cannot get freq at ep 0x84 which seems to be a
common problem with webcams
but which means nothing to me..
Elsewhere it was suggested that reloading the module with trace=15 might
help.. it didn't for me..

Although I am a linux user since RedHat 3, I am still no guru, especially
with drivers and modules,
and even less with video; so let's not ignore the basics.. I may be missing
something fundamental..

I can send usb logs and lsusb output and all if useful, but I thought I
would just ask first,
can I get my cam to work in other linux apps or only skype for now ?

thanks,
 John
