Hello to everybody on this list, my system is Debian etch i686, the camera is a Philips SPC620NC. I built the uvcvideo.ko module from the Linux UVC SVN trunk. luvcview works without problems with the camera and video quality is good.
I tried with these Debian packages from etch-backports: Ekiga 2.0.11, Opal 2.2.11, PTlib 1.10.10. The problem also exists with Ekiga 2.0.12 built from the source tar archive. The video is not usable, because it has a green colouring and horizontal and vertical stripes. Apart from the green colouring and stripes, apparently the video is alright and Ekiga runs stably. In the video settings i can adjust brightness, whiteness, color, and contrast, which each has effect on the video. The video test in the configuration druid gives this error message: Failed to open the device Could not open the chosen channel with the chosen video format. I tried to build Ekiga from the SVN trunk, but ./autogen.sh led to an error, GTK 2.10.0 is required, but 2.8.20 is in etch. Before continuing my efforts, I would like to ask if there is a chance that building Ekiga, Opal and PTlib from the SVN trunks will solve this issue. A green video problem is also reported in this message, it is a different camera but it uses the Linux UVC driver too: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-list/2007-March/msg00013.html Thank you and
