My E2500 is working witch Cheese on th e desktop. I have no experience with Skype on the desktop. The Test give a green screen with green snow…
I think I have to download the software as listed here.

I use Acer EEE PC 900 with Skype 2.0.0.72 for Skype, but that laptop has a built-in camera in the lid. It works fine.

NOTE….DONT test your e2500 in dark rooms!!, only in full daylight will tell if you have to fiddle with expose or gamma…i was struggling alot with the very dark picture in the skype test window, with my e2500.a lot of the above solution worked, but was still very dark. I always tested at night, but alot of light was on, so i didnt suspect the light to be a problem. For the first time i tested a solution(mediubuntu) in full daylight, and it works like a charm. Another cam(stevinson) also worked “ootb” with the mediubuntu/synaptic skype64 bit solution.

Finally my e2500 works on my 9.10-64bit.No kernel change and no fiddling with expose..JUST instal skype 64bit with mediubuntu repos and synaptic like above..

->
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list \
–output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list &&
sudo apt-get -q update &&
sudo apt-get –yes -q –allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring &&
sudo apt-get -q update

->open synaptic->search skype->install 64bit version(from mediubuntu).If you dont see skype mediubuntu in synaptic maybe you have to apply in “software sources”
…thats it…no need to expose.it works here..
