Hi,
I have been using the integrated webcam on my laptop without any problems with Skype (bin32-skype installed from aur on x64 Arch). However the image is very dark (looks better on windows). I can't seem to figure out a way to increase the brightness and gamma settings. Best way to do this?
Regards.

I have a custom built MSI.
@oGRE2080
I added this to the .xinitrc
[export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so]
see if it works. I am no completely sure how to help you.

I went through the post. I am not sure if i interpreted this right. I made a gspca.conf in /etc/modprobe.d
with the following:
options gspca autoexpo=0
gamma 4
no change on the video - still dark. Correct me if I am wrong. Also the post gives syntax accoridng to driver name. I just used gspca. Am I using the right driver name / how do i find the correct driver name?
thanks for the replies.

you could go through the
dmesg
output and look for your webcam. It will also show your driver.
In my case it shows "uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Acer CrystalEye Webcam (064e:a101)
Or you can try:
lsusb
which will give you a list of connected usb devices (your built-in camera is most proabably usb)
take the ID number quoted in the middle (eg mine: 064e:a101) and google it ("linux driver 064e:a101" maybe)

So I find this in dmesg.
"uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device CNF7231 (04f2:b073)"
and its also listed with a green tick at "http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/".
How do I go about changing the settings and what is the driver name?

Try to create a script:
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
Start skype this way.

$ v4l2ucp

Thanks a lot. Solved the problem.
Out of curiosity, what files does that program change? (if I want to do this manually)
