Re: [Trisquel-users] Need the light from my webcam

[sirgrant]

Ok, well so far this is interesting and unfortunately hard for me to diagnose  
because I don't have a webcam.  It seems actually a lot of people have the  
opposite problem where they can't get the LED to turn off.

You could try this as a temporary fix.  Try installing guvcview  
(http://packages.trisquel.info/slaine/guvcview) which allows you to adjust  
things like brightness and contrast.
