Hi List With kernel 2.6.27 the spca driver for a lot of webcams, including the one I have got, was moved into the kernel. At the same time quite a few video formats were taken out of the driver and moved to a user-land library - v4l1compat.so.
This means that in order for me to get video on ekiga, skype and other applications I have to do something like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ekiga My question now is: Is this also required with Ekiga V3? I ask because my distribution (Gentoo) still is at version 2.0.12. I prefer to use whatever my distribution provides. I could - and I have done this before - build Ekiga from sources but is it worth the trouble (conf. all the posts about build problems ;-)) and will it solve my dilemma? Kind regards, Bent _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
