[Mageia-discuss] Netbook webcam video freezes system

[Maurice Batey]

Just installed 64-bit Mageia-2 on Samsung NC110 netbook, which has
builtin webcam (SC-0311139N).

Using Skype 2.2.0.35 from Mageia repository,  any attempt to do a video
'test' causes the whole system to freeze, needing a re-boot.

Anyone know of a fix for this?

(Googling suggests I am not alone, and there is talk of the problem
arising with more recent kernels; OK with earier kernels..)
