Trying to work with webcams on SLED 11. Devices were detected at install.
Cheese used to work. Since then, I have installed Skype and DVD decoding software so I can watch DVD's on Linux.

In Skype, webcam lights up,then fails.

Using another post, I tried Mplayer tv://

I get messages saying..

Ideally, I'd like to disable the built in cam and use my new Logitech Quickcam pro for Notebooks - works great on the MAC and Windows. guessing it would also work on Linux, or at least hoping it would.

Any ideas of further things I should try or could do to resolve this?
I'm fairly new at Linux hardware. I can edit files and am comfortable moving around in the file system, but am not all that familiar with what I'm looking for.

Many thanks for any assistance.
