>    Thanks Gert. I'll be willing to test the apps. I have icuii and iSpQ and both fail to activate the camera. Tell me what procedures to follow to test the apps and I'll do it. Please remember I'm a Newbie. You may want to get a more experienced user to do this. But I'm interested and will try things you suggest. Thanks. My native Skype works well with the camera in Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora fc13 by the way.                         Bob
