Installing the Lenovo USB Webcam (type 40Y8519, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-65518.html) under Linux 2.6.31.1 required the gspca vc032x module to be built from the external developer tree at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/.

On a 64-bit machine Skype shall be started something similar like

# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

if you would like to use the webcam for video.
