Can you tell us what you mean by image quality is horrible? Is it out of
focus, noisy, resolution or frame rate to low? 

The Optia supports up to 640x480 @ 30 FPS. Depending on how high you set
the exposure, you may not get 30 FPS. At least with luvcview you can
pass in command line arguments to force the resolution and frame rate
higher.

I couldn't tell you anything about Ekiga since I've never used it.

I've run into bandwidth issues running multiple UVC cams in Ubuntu Linux
on the same USB host controller. It's possible that Ekiga is lowering
the resolution of the cams to be able to run both of them at once. You
could try running one at a time. If that improves the image quality then
at least you have a better idea what the problem is.
