I have the same problem with the next laptop's internal web-com:
~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam.
It works about 2 years ago under lenny without any problem with the
package "gspca" which did not be include in the kernel before the Linux
kernel 2.26.30 if I remember.
I am not an active user of web-com and after some months ot more than a
year I found that my web-com does not work anymore. (I used Lenny under
the Linux kernel 2.26.30, 2.26.32 from backports at that moment).
Some times it works some ours or minites (I don't know why) and ended
work again for a long times.
I expected that it would be work again under Squeeze but it don't work
now, after upgrading to squeeze.
I have the next kernel modules loaded:
lsmod | grep gspca
gspca_vc032x 21444 0
gspca_main 18727 1 gspca_vc032x
videodev 29993 1 gspca_main
usbcore 122498 8
btusb,gspca_vc032x,gspca_main,usb_storage,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
and it seems to me that it must work but it doesn't.
It doesn't work not only with skype but and with `cheese` and mplayer.
So, I have the next report about errors from the mplayer when I try to
make it works:
