Matrox cards, for example, support using textures to handle XVideo in which case they give you 32 ports. -- greg ___ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list

I only said that there existed some graphics cards whose drivers provided multiple overlays. There are certainly still cards, even brand new cards, whose drivers don't. Including, for example, my brand new ATI :( It may just be because the driver is relatively new or it may be a hardware limitation, I don't know. Because the overlay is so much better it may be worth indicating to the user when a window doesn't use an overlay. (preferably not in a popup window though!). Otherwise the user may have no idea that disabling PIP would make his display much smoother. (Or he may just say "ekiga PIP sucks" rather than "my graphics card sucks but at least ekiga is making the most of it") -- greg ___ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
[Ekiga-devel-list] Interoperation with Polycom h.323 VC hardware?
Has anyone tried to get ekiga working with commercial video-conferencing hardware? My office has a Polycom videoconferencing setup and I'm keen to be working from home using ekiga. But when I try dialling the Polycom ekiga just says "No common codec". This is different from the behaviour in the past. With a previous snapshot it connected but the video was very very poor resolution and the audio was messed up in a manner that sounded sort of like a 8 bit stream being read in 16-bit mode. Is there any debugging mode to view what codecs the Polycom is advertising? Are there sources of codecs other than the snapshots? The only video codec listed is h261 621.7kbps 90kHz which sounds unlikely -- the Polycom is supposed to be using 128kbps. -- greg ___ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] Ekiga CVS access

The normal way to specify CVS roots is something like :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path just quoting a hostname isn't really helpful. Especially since pservers often require an empty password, non-empty password, or specific password depending on how they're configured. Why isn't there a page on ekiga's home page with CVS instructions like other software projects? It must get tiresome having people ask this question repeatedly. You seem to go out of your way to hide it. -- greg ___ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list

I really would like to get it working if it's something that's doable. I can help if it's just C stuff but I don't know much about actual video codecs if we're missing an entire codec. -- greg ___ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
