Linux is not well supported. In my case, Logitech QuickCam for
Notebooks works perfectly with Fedora 9, but with Skype when I try to
activate the webcam, the program aborts without any hints about the
problem.
Skype does not support v4l2.
Maybe if you install libv4l-0.5.8-1.fc10.i386 (it has to be the 32 bit version)
and run (using a bash shell)
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /opt/skype
it will work. That is what I do with my A4tech PK-935.
