you could try installing cheese to test these webcams. At least one of those three webcams should work fine. the command line installation is "sudo apt-get install cheese" or search for it in synaptic or the Ubuntu Software Center.<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 2:30 PM, Kevin Fries <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kfries@cctus.com">kfries@cctus.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I am using Skype v2.1.0.81 on my Starling, and it works perfectly.
