Thanks, but I can't find any newer version than 2.0.0.72 and I can't see how you enable video on this version.
The package I am running is skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586 (albeit on an F10 x86_64 box).
I don't think I had to enable it as such, skype automatically found the webcam as a usb device. However, right-clicking on the skype icon and selecting 'options' shows a 'Video Devices' section. Within there there are tick-boxes to enable video, and select the video device.
Gosh, you are right. I don't know how I missed seeing that. Found my old webcam and sure enough it worked right away. Thanks a lot for opening my eyes.
