    Hello

    My webcam does'nt work porperly. It works mostly in skype and in MSN, but the installed programm WEBCAM does not show any picture.
    So i loaded down the programm cheese. Cheese also shows an error. When starting cheese in terminal I get those messages:
    [*[user@localhost ~]$ cheese
