Leave your scrpit as is.
It seems to work.

There must be some place where you set what programs start when you enter a session. (it’s sessions in gnome)

Find skype and disable it.

I have other problem now usually skype loads with KDE and i like that. I tried to put export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so in /etc/rc.d/rc.local but doesnt work. I made a skript that loads LD_PRELOAD & then skype and it is ok. When i put it in ~/user/.kde/Autostart it works, but the next time i boot the system i have 2 skypes running. I need to know how to to make it load as before without doing sth every time manually

YES! It works!
At last!

I’ve been waiting for 2.5 years for the camera to work in Linux!
It was useless until now!

Great… Followed french instructions http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/webcam_ali (translated: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdoc.ubuntu-fr.org%2Fwebcam_ali&sl=fr&tl=en&history_state0=)

and replaced skype with a script running
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
and then skype.

It works! Thanks so much!

PROXIMO,

The greeny image is because some programs require the LD_PRELOAD to be defined.

Starting skype eg, you can type on the command line

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

and the image should be nice and clear…

Here, I have to do it for mplayer and skype. Kopete and Cheese work without it.

i used this one http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/webcam_ali and it works , but the picture is greeny. I am happy though, hope to make another build soon.

Just installed the new drivers.

Either with camorama or skype, the green LED lights up (on the camera) but no image is visible.

It’s not like before starting the video, but it’s a white static image.

I did the LD_PRELOAD method offcourse. Any ideas? Need a screenshot?

For further testing: this command shows the webcam input in mplayer:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so mplayer -fps 30 -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video tv://

This is great…

I’ve been following this page for over a year now, and the posts of smaba are the final breakthrough!

On Fedora 10, on my Zepto 6625WD (built in Bisoncam: Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller) the install he suggests Just Worked!

‘make’ ran without any problem.
The libv4l libs were not copied to the correct place on ‘make install’ (I suppose because the script was written for Ubuntu?), but just installing the libv4l package (yum install libv4l.i386) did the trick.

To use Skype, you indeed have to define the LD_PRELOAD… and I’m now looking at myself in the Skype video device test window. Maybe this var could be defined on startup (in .bash.profile instead of in the skype script) to make all apps work at once? Or would this break other apps?

In each case: thanks for all the work and hints, I’m really glad the last piece of hardware on my laptop finally works. Good luck to everybody still trying to get this working.

every time a pleasure.

I first had some green destortions with my webcam on skype. But found that:

Rename (move) /usr/bin/skype to /usr/bin/skype.real
Then create a script at:
/usr/bin/skype
Code:

#!/bin/sh
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real

Then give /usr/bin/skype executable permission. My links to skype aren’t broken, and there’s no need to keep a terminal open just for skype.
Best of all, my video works! (at least, the video test does.)

***Reminder: Be sure to call “skype.real” (NOT skype) to the command in the script. Calling skype in the script will cause your system to run out of memory (due to recursive calls). I made this mistake the first time. I did Ctrl+Alt+Backspace just in time. Thank goodness for the 4GB. There was a long blank screen, and then I had to manually start X again.
