[Bug 298545] Re: cheese webcam : no video display and hangs

[carl1005]

Had the same problem with cheese and camorama does not detect the webcam but it works with skype.
With Cheese, it either gives a corrupted image or it shows nothing while the webcam indicator light is still on. It sometimes crashes when closed but the crash went away after an update
I tried using kernel 2.6.24-21 leftover after upgrading from hardy and everything works perfectly.
When an update for 2.6.27-9 went out, I tried it again. It now just shows a blank image while the webcam indicator light is on.
All that in an Aspire 5630 (the gma950 version).
On an Aspire one, the webcam works without any hacks being used.
