Hi,
Well when I upgraded to Jaunty from Intrepid I didn't notice that my webcam is not working until when I came to video chat. Well frankly i couldn't find any proper solution page yet but I fixed the problem with installation of libv4l.
For me the camera was (output of lsusb):
- Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.
And I got it to work it with cheese. Yet to try with amsn, skype etc. will keep on updating this post as soon as I get to test them.
Download libv4l 0.5.8-1 from here.
And install it.
The solution was nowhere as such but it was mentioned somewhere that I need to have libv4l. So I tried it and it worked :)
