Apologies if this is too basic for here - please redirect me to
documentation or another mail list if appropriate.
I have looked through a couple of years of archives and found the thread
"Skype and libv4l" from March 2009 but I do not understand it enough to
take any action.
I have a Philips SPC 200NC USB webcam connected to my OpenSuSE system,
which I want to use with Skype.
I have attempted to follow the HowTo from
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Webcam-HOWTO/>
I installed the pwc driver and have /dev/video0 present.
xawtv-3.95 running on Linus/i686 (2.6.31.14-0.4-default) will display
webcam video in a window so I'm nearly there. On startup it reports:
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.31.14-0.4-default)
xinerama 0: 1280x1024+0+0

the xawtv menu shows video source zc3xx
Cheese 2.28.1 flickers the webcam indicator when loading but only ever
displays the test pattern.
