Not a lot :( Well, I already saw these errors -71. One case was a cable problem. An other one occurred with skype only, while vlc worked correctly. So, it would be interesting to know if the (almost) last driver works. Then, you may try the gspca-2.15.18.tar.gz from my web site: wget http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca-2.15.18.tar.gz tar -zxf gspca-2.15.18.tar.gz cd gspca-2.15.18 make su make install reboot You may then try cheese. For skype, don't forget to force the use of the v4l library: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype If the problem is still there, I'd be glad to get some traces. For that, as root, do: echo 0x1f > /sys/module/gspca_main/parameters/debug then, unplug/replug the webcam, do some capture until the problem occurs, and send us the last kernel messages starting from the webcam probe.
