There is still one problem with cheese. 1. If you take a photo using cheese, it flashes the screen and makes it all white and after that never returns back to normal display. I have to press Alt+Ctrl+F1 and kill cheese manually. This is annoying. The video is recording is fine, but the photo has

Sorry, My bad. I figured the problem. I had disabled the AT SPI Registry at startup in order to reduce startup time. But I think that was not allowing access to the webcam. I'm sorry. This kernel is working perfectly for me. I am using 2.6.27-11-generic kernel and both cheese and skype are
