For some reason, after recent update I suspect, the automatic white
balance is no longer works on my laptop's webcam: seems to be fixed on a
daylight settings, so I get yellowish cast when light source is
tungsten/halogen bulbs. Also, judging by the [very light] flickering,
it's defaulted to the US frequency of 60Hz, as opposed to 50Hz here in
the UK...
I cannot see any obvious camera control app, whether installed on in
repositories, and Skype for Linux (v.2.1.0.47beta) is absolute crap, so
no help there, as far as fine tuning the camera is concerned.

Anyone knows how to fix this? I'm running ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) 64bit.
