So now I know that the webcam works with the Video4Linux driver I'd like to use skype with video - I'm using the beta version of skype for CentOS: skype.i586 2.0.0.13-centos and the video doesn't seem to work - when I try to test the video it crashes. When I do yum list skype, it shows a newer version, skype.i586 2.0.0.72-fc5, in the skype repo which maybe has video working (?), but when I try to yum update to this, I get the error message 'Missing Dependency: qt4-x11 >= 4.2 is needed by package skype' I've got qt4 installed of course, for skype to work, so why is it showing qt4-x11 as missing? Any help appreciated so that I don't have to fall back on Windoze in order to use all the features of the webcam!

[CentOS] Driver for Logitech QuickCam E2500 series webcam
Does anybody know where I can find a driver for a Logitech E2500 webcam. I'm running CentOS 5 on my desktop and want to add a webcam for skype use. If I can yum install a driver from one of the repos that would be great. Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
