Some more information. My webcam is a Logitech Quickcam chat which according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Webcam_Setup#Identify_your_webcam had a product number 046d:08a3.
lsusb detects "ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger" V4L Universal control panel says that the driver used is zc3xx. The website above says that both the Logitech QC messenger and chat should work with the gspca driver. Is there a way to "force" v4l or skype to use this driver instead? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984603 Title: Skype video freezes right after few first frames To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/984603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
