    Creative Live! cam not working at all

    My Creative Live! cam Optia pro is refusing to work. In the beginning it showed on Skype as a camera on dev/cam0 or something like that. After I installed some drivers I found it doesn't come up at all. Thanks!

    PS: The drivers I installed http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git

    it did say it was a experimental driver

    close skype all the way using the icon up top

    open a terminal type lsusb click enter
    does it show the cam in the list if yes close the terminal
    retry skype

    hope that helps

    It does show it. Bus 001 Device 005: ID 041e:4065 Creative Technology, Ltd. But Skype still does not find it.

    i remember win i had skype i had to play with the setting a lot to get mine to show a pic
    do you by any chance have ekiga softphone installed
    if yes see if it can find the cam
