Hi,

I had the same problem with the green screen on cheese, Ekiga and Skype. I added the following repositories

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lool/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lool/ubuntu intrepid main

I installed the following:
lib32v4l-0
libv4l-0

And the webcam now works. The only problem is that its in b&w, dunno how to set it to color; any ideas.
