Public bug reported: Since the install of 11.10, my ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX webcam does not provide a proper image. The image is mostly black and white with graphic distortions. Programs such as MPlayer and VLC utilize the webcam without a problem, but programs such as Cheese that use gstreamer produce the distorted image.
