Hi there,

just a short summary of my latest results.

I use a logitech quickcam 9000 pro on an up-to-date gentoo linux with 2.6.18-suspend2 kernel, old nvidia graphics card with 3D-support by the driver.

After some investigations and tests I got it working, including the camera's microphone.

The kernel setup / module installation was done as described here:
http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/Logitech_Quickcam_connect

I checked both with luvcview and ekiga before using skype. Ekiga finds the video device, and so does skype. Skype also find the usb microphone without any tricks.

The main problem for me was that obviously the 9000 pro has a problem with framerate switching.

As indicated the solution was to take a current UVC driver. Before that I had lots of problems both with audio and video in a skype-call, as many other described here in the forum. Now it's fine.

It seems that there is light at the end of the tunnel :-)

HTH

P.S.: Is there a way to set the webcam resolution or other video parameters ?
P.P.S.: videoecho123 seems to work, at least sometimes

Hi,

None answer to your question but another question...
How to install the last version of uvc. I have not found (I am a linux newbie) the page into uvc's site. I really hope to use my Logitech Pro 9000. I have switched back to skype 1.4 because the LP9000 webcam not only crash the both connected Skype but also the both platforms (xp and ubuntu). The both computers can only reboot with webcam removed... Certainly skype's developers should also modify their code so that Skype is a little bit more robust with such kind of problems whatever the platforms.

Sincerely

Ubuntu are updating the module in their respositories now, and it should be available soon if it isn't already.

Andy.
