Do you use USB 1.1 or 2.0 ? USB 1.1 seems to put the cam in MJPEG mode
only (for me at least).

You will need the v4l2 plugin, in the Debian package
libpt-cvs-plugins-v4l2. For me it was not installed by default. With
that, the ekiga CVS packages work for me. Note that 1.99 will *not*
work, you need the CVS packages from http://snapshots.gnomemeeting.net/
