I have a `ALi m5602' webcam.
It should work correctly since Skype (using LD_PRELOAD=/opt/lib32/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype) works correctly.
But I cannot use it in any other software. I tried xawtv and guvcview with no avail.
The image is distorted and blue.
Maybe the v4l1 support is ok, while v4l2 it is not yet? What can I try?
$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.29-ARCH)
looking for available devices
port 57-72
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : Radeon Textured Video
/dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ]
type : v4l2
name : USB2.0 Camera
flags: capture
Thanks for any hint.

Yes, I did read the wiki article. (From there I discovered the workaround for skype)

How did you make it work at all? I have it in Benq S31v and can't get it work Even in skype. I've read wiki already

ezzetabi, your webcam should work with the GSPCA driver. It uses v4l2. The support has been introduced recently, though, as can be seen here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/ Maybe you could check whether your kernel's module already supports it? ... And I found it, the patches are waiting in linux-next and should, if I understand correctly, be available in 2.6.32: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … ;a=summary
You could try to install the module from the staging repository: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.gz
