[Bug 262853] Re: ov51x-jpeg-source won't build against kernel 2.6.27, but 1.5.9 (already in Jaunty) would.

The problem your having is likely due to the cam your using being a v4l2
device where skype is most happy with v4l1 devices.

To get skype going with your device you should go to a console, and run the following commands to launch skype.
(Make sure you quit skype if it's currently running.)

Then in a console:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
skype

If you're running a 64bit distro then you should follow the instructions here.
