[Bug 692817] [NEW] Webcam not working in Kopete

[Mark Greenwood]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

Acer Aspire One, has Acer Crystal Eye webcam. This webcam worked in
Kopete in Kubutnu Maverick, and works in Natty if I use Cheese, only
Kopete can't see it.

dmesg | grep cam
[    9.994117] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Acer Crystal Eye webcam (064e:d101)
[   10.101611] input: Acer Crystal Eye webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/input/input6


Open Kopete and go to Settings, the Webcam tab lists no webcam.

In case it's relevant, I'm using the Xine backend for Phonon instead of
GStreamer because the GStreamer backend doesn't play audio. I haven't
tried to see if the webcam works when I select GStreamer as the backend
because it has a habit of locking the machine up completely when I use
Phonon with that backend.
