Hello, I have just formatted my hard drive and installed SL5.3 from scratch. Everything (even the wireless!) more or less works now except that there is a minor issue with Skype. I followed the advice in one of the previous emails on this subject and installed Skype using
yum localinstall skype-2.0.0.72-centos.i586.rpm after downloading the RPM from the Skype website. The audio works, but the camera does not. When I try to test it, it gives me the following: Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format Skype V4L2: Could not find a suitable capture format Starting the process... Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 32 Skype XShm: XShm support enabled Skype Xv: Using Xv port 224 Skype Xv: No suitable overlay format found The webcam is a Chicony Electronics USB camera. It looks like there exists a driver for it, (it is labeled USB 2.0 Camera /dev/video0 in Skype), but I don't know how to get Skype to work with it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks. -- Aram
