Re: unable to get cheese working with my uvcvideo driver based webcam



this could be related to this faq entry:
http://live.gnome.org/Cheese/FAQ#head-6abe3dfb895f8bfc5d2fd41f5ce502edfc6ff738

anyway, you should upgrade to cheese 2.24 and probably update your
gstreamer plugins too. that should solve this problem.
