Re: Webcam Problem
I have the same machine and "Cheese" works fine.
It looks like a Skype issue.

thehabus: You can test your webcam with VLC which should be installed by default.
Open VLC then menu Media > Open Capture Device > Set Capture Mode to Video Camera. Set Video device name as required (e.g. /dev/video0). Then hit "Play" button at the bottom to display your video camera output.
Which specific video applications have problems with your webcam?
