I normally stick to the forums but I've come here because I fear this is going to be a little too in depth. (I shall post the answer to the forum afterwards however).
I know the GEM developers have discussed this over here:

But I'm not a GEM developer! :)
My issue is, [pix_video] won't see my camera under any conditions (in GNU/Linux), whilst mplayer tv:// in the terminal or the Cheese Webcam Booth are both very happy to. I simply don't know where to begin. But really really desire this feature (it's one of the main reasons i bought the eeepc 701)
Running eeebuntu lxde beta 1 (a cut down ubuntu/debian)
Is this a common problem? Are there some standard procedures to fixing this? like reinstalling certain packages? e.t.c.
There's no rush here, but I'm sure it's a somewhat popular issue since the eeepc must be a popular medium for Pure Data
Thanks very much everyone.
