[Bug 291723] Re: No picture from Logitech Quickcam Communicate Deluxe

[Damien]

Same problem here with the Logitech Notebook Deluxe.

effectv gives repeats an error message:
v4lsync:VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument

ekiga doesn't like it either
"Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the color formats supported by Ekiga.
 Please check your kernel driver documentation in order to determine which Palette is supported."

Skype displays pure garbage(tm) in its small preview window.

But... the magic trick above fixes it: just type

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so my_program

when you launch "my_program".

Tested with skype, ekiga, effectv on Interpid Ibex 8.10 and kernel
2.6.27-9-generic

Bootnote: "cheese" works without this hack.
