[ubuntu-za] Genius Webcam on 12.10

[Jan Greeff]

Hi Hilton, many thanks but these guidelines are for installation, 
getting the drivers etc.

My webcam is working fine on Cheese, so everything must be right 
software-wise. My problem is that the webcam does not work on Skype. It 
did so beautifully on Ubuntu 12.04, but when I upgraded to 12.10 the new 
Ubuntu version messed up something between the webcam and Skype.

Any more ideas?

Cheers,

Jan
