Hi again,
I can't think of anything more right now. It seems we have similar SMP machines
and
kernels. The memory problem on older machines with less memory was one I knew
about because I have seen it reproducibly. I also know that adding swap made it
go
away, again, on a much older machine. I have had problems with Ekiga crashing
when I try to make a call, but I have left it on for days at a time without
making a call,
but with my webcam installed and it looked to keep grabbing frames in a steady
stream for the entire time. My webcam is a USB Philips ToUcam using the
pre-packaged
kernel driver.
I have heard of some webcam problems regarding V4L2 with Ekiga that disappeared
once switched to V4L (maybe vice versa as well). I guess you could try changing
the
webcam settings in Ekiga and see what happens.
Dee
