I know this is not a support forum, please forgive, but maybe this issue 
is driver related and may deserve further investigation.

Cam is a Philips SPC 620 NC which is not (yet) officially supported, but 
does work, though a bit unstable.

I am not able to run any webcam application, be it xawtv, gqcam or 
wxcam. None of them starts. xawtv with -nodga or -noxv or -noxv-video 
does not work as well.

xawtv -nodga -c /dev/video0 for example gives this:

xinerama 0: 1152x864+0+0
X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode
  Major opcode of failed request:  137 (XFree86-DGA)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL)
  Serial number of failed request:  13
  Current serial number in output stream:  13
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

The interesting thing is, that Skype 2.0.x DOES work! Kopete also 
detects the cam and shows a picture. Only drawback is, the camere 
freezes once in a while.

So, why does Skype run, but no other application? Is this driver 
related? 

Thanx
Malte
