DESCRIPTION:
Simply doesn't start, with or without the webcam connected.
Driver of the webcam gspcav1.

Same webcam works with every other application, skype included.

Cheese worked this summer, doesn't work anymore since middle Autumn (if I remember correctly, but I'm not sure of *when* it occures for the first time)
