The framerate of the built in webcam of my Dell Mini 10 (Inspiron 1010) is extremely slow (may be 1 frame every 10 seconds).
Initially I couldn't see the webcam image. After following the instruction from this previous questions
Webcam not recognized in Dell Mini 10v on Lucid Lynx. How to troubleshoot?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/3222/my-webcam-wont-work-how-do-i-debug
I executed gstreamer-properties
and change the Video Default Output from "X Window System (X11/XShm/Xv)" to "X Window System (No Xv)". Now I can see the webcam image, but with a very low frame rate.
Any idea about how to solve this? I am running 10.04
