Webcam for Skype - UVC video failure in Fedora 7

Gstreamer & gstreamer-devel installed. gstfakevideo installed; Fedora 7 and Skype 2.0.0.68

-- As such, skype still reports lots of errors & no video is available;
-- luvcview works fine
-- Skype detects both devices, the gstfake on /video0, and the M678 on /video1.

-- This tested with both i810 and intel modsetting drivers
-- This tested without Compiz

None works.

some outputs:
dmseg|tail -relevant part only
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device M678 (0e8d:0004)
uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -32 (exp. 26).
input: M678 as /class/input/input17

Note: warning "Failed to query..." deemed non-threateninig by UVC driver devs
Code:

Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0e8d:0004

v4l2_common            18625  2 uvcvideo,videodev

/dev/video0 mv'ed to /dev/video1

Skype set to use /dev/video0

There were a bug open on berlios.de (uvc developer page) for a device with the same usb ID than yours. The problem has been fixed and the svn sources are now patched. I would recommend removing your current driver and go for the svn sources :

Code:
svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/trunk
with subversion installed of course. The compile process is just a matter of "make" and "make install" OR "checkinstall" then modprobe the module.

Thanks thveillon

You mean, since yesterday? I've seen the conversation actually.

http://developer.berlios.de/forum/me...p?msg_id=41795

from Jan 17th; I reached the same state with luvcview as the issue reporter, bringing my device to working with luvcview and no ekiga, gstreamer or skype at all. With opr without the FakerGst thingy.

So the "Berlios" side is kinda "OK"

Advertised address on the berlios website is wrong;

Code:
 svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk
this one is good, as checked right now.

The least "threatenning" message I got is the video overlay issue
https://developer.skype.com/jira/bro...3?page=worklog

otherwise, I can sometimes see the Test Screen from gstreamer, by tweaking gstfakevideo...

Any other suggestion?
How do I turn Xv off?
[running i810 driver, no Compiz/Fusion, the device reports I have 1 port available and uses port nr 73]

more data, trying alternate methods:
Code:
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 \! ffmpegcolorspace \! videoscale \! autovideosink
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /pipeline0/v4l2src0: Could not negotiate format
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(2056): gst_base_src_start (): /pipeline0/v4l2src0:
Check your filtered caps, if any
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
FREEING pipeline ...
Cheers
