Ric.

Butting in for a few moments.

I too am having aMSN picture problems. The picture is very "brown" in 
either daylight or artificial light. In fact, it is brown in other 
Linux video chat programs (Kopete and Ekiga). If I even 'touch' the 
brightness control, it immediately goes very over-exposed. Altering 
the focus doesn't improve it at all.

I'm not flaming, just stating facts, but in Windows Live Messenger, 
with Logitech's driver, the picture is excellent for a 640x480 
camera. Correct colours, and it works in far lower light levels than 
is required in Linux.

I'll now retire into the background again!
