[Bug 303215] Re: Cheese works no more on Intrepid

[tidris]

Try having the following script running on a terminal window before you
launch cheese.

while true; do echo > /dev/null; done

If your computer is anything like mine, cheese will behave much better
when that script is running.

Without that script running, initializing the camera takes so long that
cheese often seems to gives up on it and default to the gstreamer test
screen (color bars and tv noise in the corner). Even in the cases the
camera initialization completes, the frame rate afterwards is
ridiculously slow, with tens of seconds between frames. All those
problems magically disappear when the script above is running, and
return as soon as I kill the script.
