yes, the 2 processors are active and Ekiga takes over one of them when the
camera is connected:

#~ top
(...)
Cpu0  :  5.6%us,  1.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 93.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.3%si,  0.0%st
Cpu1  :  0.3%us, 99.7%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st

I'm using Debian Lenny's latest kernel:

#~ uname -rsv
Linux 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 27 17:45:04 UTC 2008

I guess this can be a problem in the uvcvideo driver, but it seems to work ok
with other apps... any suggestions on how to further debug this?

Thanks for your comments,
