I have a logitech quickcam messenger that was working fine until I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.

I had to use preload v4l hack but since then it always worked for three consecutive ubuntu versions.

Now, when I start the webcam during a call, it works for a few seconds, then it freezes, sortof resets and starts updating the image every 5 seconds, like a slide show.

If I go to options and test the video it works fine. The webcam works fine as well with google talk.

Does anybody have the same problem?
