I would start with youtube - are your video drivers set up correctly?
Not sure how to check this
What happens when you run glxgears at the command line?
It ran ok (had to run it over ssh -X since the computer is in use right now)
mark@beagle:~$ glxgears
49 frames in 5.1 seconds = 9.638 FPS
39 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7.781 FPS
39 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7.760 FPS
37 frames in 5.1 seconds = 7.317 FPS
39 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7.723 FPS
Do you have
the latest flash player?
Probably not....don't use flash much.
Youtube is all about video output. Video4Linux is about input. When
Skype is working it does both video input and output. You're blaming
the input side when the experience with youtube suggests the problem
is on output, not input.
I actually think there is an input problem. When I am connected through skype to another computer, the audio works fine and I can see the other person without any problem. No crashes. When I tell skype to turn on my camera, it does not turn on (no red light) and just crashes. The iceweasel crashing problem may not be related...I just connected them because they both have a video component. I see now, based on your explanation, that they are probably not related.
