Details

Description:

The video in Skype shows only a black screen with newer Kernel (>3.7).

In other programs (e.g. xawtv) the Camera works.

Problem seems to be known in other distributions (fedora, suse).

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Skype 4.1.0.20-2
Linux 3.6.6-1 or Linux 3.7.5-1

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:

Install Kernel >3.7 - black screen
downgrade to 3.6.6 - it works.
