They work perfectly in gnome. Which settings do you use in KDE? Hi Maurizio,

Take also care that not every video program supports the new protocol V4L2, many obsolete programs will not work. Anyway, skype, ekiga do, and if you have a recent version of mplayer you can just try mplayer tv:// Regards, Maurizio Hello,
