I’m a proud owner of a fine HP laptop that comes with an integrated HP HD Webcam (Lite On Technology 04ca:704d) which works with the Uvcvideo driver.
The webcm gives a nice picture in Wxcam using the V4L2 interface and YUYV as well as YUV420 picture format.
However in Skype it doesn’t work. Without V4L compat layer Skype freezes/crashes KDE4. With the V4L compat layer a single frozen frame is displayed in Skype.
In IceWM however the same webcam works without trouble using Skype with the V4L compat layer.
Any ideas on how to diagnose this or remedy the situation?
Best wishes, VL
