cam freezes and kills aMsn & skype. (ubuntu eee)

Asked by zix

iam using ubuntu eee on my laptop Eee pc 701 4G.
everything works fine except for the cam with aMsn..
takes about 5 sec for aMsn to crash..
first the feed slows down and then it freezes and then it crashes.
any ideas on why?

onn skype how ever the video feed never shows, but it crashes the other client that i talk to..

the cam worked fine on Xandros the original os by asus, so any ideas on how to fix this?
