Hi

I run linux (ubuntu 7.10) and pd-extended installed from
Pd-0.39.3-extended-debian-testing-i386.deb

I have some experience with pd, but none with video. I hooked up my
phillips webcam and dmesg tels me it's connected to /dev/video0. Skype
shows video from this device just fine.

However I can't get it going in pd. I tried running the
examples/pdp/input_output.pd patch, and I briefly see a black window,

Probally you have a webcam that use video4linux2 protocol, so you have to use pdp_v4l2.
You can find it in http://artefacte.org/pd/ or try one of the last nigthly auto-build
