Hi,

I think I may have the same problem as detailed in
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2008-July/003765.html
but I haven't got the space to fit an extra pci card. I'm hoping there is 
another answer.

The webcam appears to work excellently...

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ luvcview -d /dev/video1    
        luvcview version 0.2.1 
        Video driver: x11
        A window manager is available
        video /dev/video1

until any application uses a USB microphone, i.e.

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /dev/dsp4

then the picture breaks up, freezes and luvcview dies a few seconds later.

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ luvcview -d /dev/video1 
        luvcview version 0.2.1 
        Video driver: x11
        A window manager is available
        video /dev/video1

I tried using a different USB microphone, i.e. cat /dev/dsp3, but it dies just 
the same.
I tried with and without USB hubs, but it dies just the same.

I tried the webcam in my old Toshiba Satellite laptop, and it doesn't appear to 
have the problem.
(Unfortunately 400MHz and 198M of ram is not going to work well with Skype.) 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Will any USB webcam work for me and my box of ATI chips?

Regards and Best Wishes,
Rob W
