Hello I am running Lenny. I have a Microsoft Life Cam VX5000 usb camera. This camera works like a charm with skype (v 2.1.0.47), chesse and luvcview. But it doesn't work with ekiga. Each time I run ekiga I get the message:
Error while opening video device Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 A moving logo will be transmitted during calls. Notice that you can always transmit a given image or the moving logo by choosing "Picture" as video plugin and "MovingLogo" or "StaticPicture" as device. Your video driver doesn't support the requested video format. Apparently, it is a problem with v4, l: $ v4l-conf v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0 dga: version 2.0 X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XFree86-DGA) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL) Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 13 The uvc module is loaded: $ lsmod | grep uvc uvcvideo 45800 0 compat_ioctl32 1312 1 uvcvideo videodev 27520 1 uvcvideo v4l1_compat 12260 2 uvcvideo,videodev usbcore 118192 7 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,uvcvideo,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd Just in case the output of lsusb is: $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:00dd Microsoft Corp. <----------------------------- VX5000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 003: ID 045e:0728 Microsoft Corp. <----------------------------- VX5000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp.
