Try upgrading to a more recent Ekiga version, and make sure you have installed the libpt-plugins-v4l2 package. > And camorama says my /dev/video0/ is not there when it most certainly is > -- and it sure looks like a device; too.? Camorama doesn't support V4L2 so it won't work with the UVC driver. > Should my webcam work outside of skype ? Your webcam should work with any video software that supports V4L2. > 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.. That error is related to the usbaudio module and should not affect the video driver. > Elsewhere it was suggested that reloading the module with trace=15 might > help.. it didn't for me.. Setting trace to 15 prints more debugging messages to the kernel log but shouldn't affect the driver's behaviour (except maybe for some border-line timing related problems). > 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..

Camorama won't work, but Ekiga should. It will probably work if you upgrade to a more recent version. You might have to upgrade libpt too.
