Hope this helps.ed Actually there are two versions of "their webcam" between mine and yours; unfortunately yours and ones that followed are the only ones they [writers AND webcam designers] chose to move forward with. That's ok. It's already where it needed to go. I had an IRMan like this the other day; I spent $35 on it back in those days. I must have put dozens of man-hours into getting it to work on various versions of Redhat, then Fedora, then Ubuntu, but it worked for like...30 minutes in it's lifetime.

[Ekiga-list] Logitech Webcam (Not "GO") solution
Back when I was a highly-paid engineer in Chicago, one of these little Logitech Webcams got into my stable of parts- musta been 1996-97. I wasted THREE HOURS trying to get the thing working under Windows, but grinned brightly when I plugged it into Linux and it worked right out of the box. Fast forward to now: I just spent my 5th hour and final hour going over google, trying to re-establish this kind of relationship. Everything's newer now, and I understand that, going to 0v511-jpeg, spcxxx, and so on. But short of getting out the source code and wasting the afternoon (why?) I thought I'd ask if someone in this audience has one of them working. Maybe I'll get a reply before someone empties the trashcan. :) I'm running a very 'clean' Ubuntu Hardy, no sourcecode or special projects to get in the way. I'm getting the 'usb-returned -28' thing, which I'm told is supposed to be the same as "no space left on device". I really don't want to break into source code; I shouldn't have to- it's the foundational device on which all these others were built, and it once took nothing at all. (We're regressing the way Microsoft's been doing, lately). If you have one of these under Linux, didn't have to hack into the source code, let me know, aye? I'd sure appreciate it. -- Brian Fahrländer Christian, Conservative, and Technomad Evansville, IN ICQ: 5119262 AOL/Yahoo/GoogleTalk: WheelDweller ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
[Ekiga-list] Setting up a videophone (from scratch)
I have an application; a person walks up to the Linux box, presses a button and (after a sec, with some pretty graphics) a person's face comes up and we're talking to someone we're also seeing. This shouldn't be hard, the idea is to make this "manual free" at all times. With this background, here's the question: How hard is it to open a communication with a remote person (probably on an Asterix PBX built for this purpose) to make the call _from_an_icon_ or other no-brainer construct? Ekiga is a great tool, even better than it was as GnomeMeeting, but I need something less flexible (to the user) and more simple, too. Is that something that's done without source code?
