webcam

[Andre Mangan]

Camorama is a comparatively primitive application and has seen very little,
if any, development for quite some time.  The currently favoured webcam
application is Cheese.

Cheese, when it works is very good - unfortunately it does not work properly
all the time.  A newer version than the one in synaptic for Hardy has been
released but requires a host of updated support files.  A tarball would be
great.

My webcam (Logitech 9000) does not work with camorama and gives the same
error message as the one that you get but it works with Cheese and with
Skype.
