Hi,

ok, revdep-rebuild and re-emerge of nss/nspr does the thing...now I
can see through my webcam.

BUT:
Max. resolution is 176x144 in vido mode (nothing more offered via
"preferences")
Is it all I can exspect from a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks?

Furthermore: The autofocus seems to be off - the image is blurry...

Is there any other trick I should know?

Thanks again for any help in advance!
Meino
