Hi,
After the latest update, the image from my webcam is displaying as just black (I've tried in Cheese, Skype, and guvcview and got the same result). I've double-checked that I didn't accidentally turn off my webcam, but I haven't.
I've been looking around some other threads, and I've included the outputs of some of the common requests for information here:
The output of lsusb is:
Code:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 5149:13d3
The output of ls /dev/v* is:
Code:
/dev/vcs /dev/vcs2 /dev/vcs4 /dev/vcs6 /dev/vcsa /dev/vcsa2 /dev/vcsa4 /dev/vcsa6 /dev/vga_arbiter
/dev/vcs1 /dev/vcs3 /dev/vcs5 /dev/vcs63 /dev/vcsa1 /dev/vcsa3 /dev/vcsa5 /dev/vcsa63 /dev/video0
Running Cheese through the terminal gets this:
Code:

I've tried this:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese
and also
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l2/v4l2compat.so cheese
neither of which had any affect.
Any ideas on what to try next?
Thanks,
sky.
