    I have been looking around the internet and some people have reported success in getting webcams to work under wine with msn version 6.5 or 7.

    I have followed the install as per the wine wiki and have some sucess, if i go into the webcam page of msn then it thinks it is connected to a usb2.0 webcam. The problem is that in the video preview window all i can see is a green square.

    I have checked my cam and it works fine under cheese.

    Sadly for some reason amsn wont run on my aspire one so msn is pretty much my only option for webcam under linux.

    Thanks
