I am running Lenny. I have a Microsoft Life Cam VX5000 usb camera. This camera works like a charm with skype (v 2.1.0.47), chesse and luvcview. But it doesn't work with ekiga. Each time I run ekiga I get the message:
Error while opening video device Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000
A moving logo will be transmitted during calls. Notice that you can always transmit a given image or the moving logo by choosing "Picture" as video plugin and "MovingLogo" or "StaticPicture" as device.
Your video driver doesn't support the requested video format.

Just in case the output of lsusb is:

My video card is a Radeon 9100:
$lspci
.....

I am googling looking for a solution, but with out success. Any help will be welcome.
Thanks in advance, regards
