That did change it so that it says 2.0 on start up bit not change the
way that linux skype works. I really think that only with the MS
drivers and with the MS skype can HD webcams be used. I would LOVE to
be proven wrong! that is why I want to know how best to run it under
wine. Maybe I should use a vitual machine? Might that work? I really
don't want to have to duel boot. I have not used MS in 12 years!
