Comment 124 for bug 215604

Before "./inst_gl860 -m" did you make another driver installation with your current kernel ? This may explain why "-m" worked properly.

The LED issue has never been reported before. Could you post the result of "grep gl860 /var/log/syslog" 30 seconds after you close Cheese or Skype ? I don't know exactly the instruction to swtich on/off the LED but it should be switched off when the webcam is idle, as it is with Windows!

Does all Windows webcam viewers show the same image in the same light conditions ?
