Cheese uses the gstreamer-Backend, which provides access to several video-input interfaces afaik and PD uses v4l2/v4l. Right now, i can't tell for sure which application uses v4l but have you tried with luvcview and used some parameters to get more information on the webcam? Or is the picture fine and fast, but the rest of the PC lags? What Vendor string do you get, when you type in glxinfo? (Or did you install the proprietary nvidia-drivers?)
Also could you provide a basic example patch? Or try this one here: http://az.zankapfel.org/?p=72

Yeah, sure, I tried cheese, and perfectly captures, even disable gdm to work only in text mode, the tried increasing the ram of the graphics and nothing, watch the video packages linux and everything was ok, and see if it was a matter of the graphics card, but my others computer was running, in which I had ubuntu 9.04 or os x, is strange.
Thanks and regards

Hello list, I do not know if this topic goes here, but comment as well.
I installed ubuntu 10.04 (I updated the packages) and the new version of pd (0.42.5) on a computer intel core 2 duo, 4 gb ram and processor 2.4, nvidia G210 card (256 ram), library PiDiP and Gem went very slowly using a webcam ISLIM Genius compatible with Linux, Win, and Mac, Also i installed in an intel atom hp mini 1000 (intel atom processor), on a celeron with 1 gb and a mac osx 10.6, and had no problems, but Lucid latency was terrible, I tried uninstalling the NVIDIA card and still the same, I went to ubuntu 9.04 (without the card) and it worked perfect ...Why? I dont know...
Best regards
José
