webcam with skype doesnt work in default. in that case

* i downloaded tazpkg package and install it with following command
root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg install libv41.tazpkg
root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg install linux-video.tazpkg
root@slitaz:modprobe uvcvideo

* everything installed well and working. But

if skype works under root user i mean
root&slitaz:skype &
webcam working well no problem.

if skype works under tux user
tux@slitaz:~$skype &
i cant see webcam in options of skype. it says no device found.

i try to install packages under tux user but i cant. asking super user.

any solution?

thanks

i am the one asked and i am the one answer the question :) in case someone will face with this error.
----------------------

if webcam works for root user but doesnt work for normal user pls assign permission for /dev/video0 file. webcam wil work for tux user also

chgrp tux /dev/video0
chmod 777 /dev/video0
chmod g+r /dev/video0
chmod o-rwx /dev/video0
