I'm trying to use Skype 2.0.0.72 with the latest Ubuntu and my Creative webcam. I ran Skype from a console to try to capture any output or errors. THis is what I get:

skype_static-2.0.0.72$ ./skype
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 64
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 355

When I go to the video options, the webcam is listed as default. When I click the "test" button, the preview is black and no errors are shown. I just can't get it to work. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks
