    Can't get Webcam working with facebook flash application

    This works fine for people on ubuntu, but for me, with my quickcam messenger and another cam, I get "snow" after a moment.

    Any ideas what to do? Other flash apps can use my camera fine. I'm using gspca driver but I also tried it with a different cam.

    It seems to work in F10. What would have caused this in F11?

    Here's the workaround, also works for new skype.



    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so firefox

    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
