Error with Acer Aspire 5920G (Acer CrystalView Cam)

["Leonardo Rossi" <leonardo rossi gmail com>]

Hi all to users and/or maintainers :)

I'm trying to use Cheese on my Acer Laptop (Aspire 5920), but it seems impossible.

It compiles without problems, but when i start, i just can see the main window, then "bug-buddy" appears, and i can do nothing.

By the way, my camera is working well with "videoviewer", and
Cheese recognize the right device ( /dev/v4l/video0, the same of
videoviewer).

I dumped information from Bug-Buddy, here you are:

The program is running.  Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
