Hi all,
I have been using this version of skype with Mandriva 2010.0 for about 3-4 months now. Recently I noticed that I cannot get picture/video from my webcam (Logitech Quick Messenger) with this version of skype. I tested my webcam again with cheese and it works. There is also no problem with the windows version of the skype. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
I wonder if this may be because of one of the recent kernel upgrades. Currently I am using 2.6.31.13-server-1mnb.
Regards,
Hakan

Thanks Dago68, that wasn't too difficult at all! It works like a charm now.

Thanks NicCo. I also put the same command (with v4l preloaded) into the autostart section of KDE control center, if anybody is interested in autostarting skype with session start as I do.
