There is nothing really polled here. The debug output only states that a frame has been decoded and has to be dropped since there is no widget to display it.

Does this mean that the opening of the camera will fail ( do you get a window?) and the moving logo will be displayed? What do you see when you open the call widget? By the way the debug output does not indicate any error, so its not 30 errors/s... Matthias ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Just preview and deactivated call view? The eee PC 901 has an inbuilt camera that can be deactivated to save power. If I turn off the camera, and then start ekiga, the CPU load stays at 50% until the call view panel is displayed. Actually I just did some more tests and it isn't quite that simple! I only get the CPU problem if, in a previous invocation of ekiga I was displaying images from the camera. If I then deactivate the call view frame, exit ekiga, turn off the camera, and restart ekiga, _then_ I see the 30 errors/second and 50% CPU.

Hi all, the debug output is perfectly normal behaviour. It is displayed on each frame that cannot be displayed because there is no widget to show. However 50% CPU is not. Actually I cannot reproduce this, when I have the widget unrealized and am getting this trace output, all I get is CPU load of 1-2%... Is there anything special you do? Just preview and deactivated call view? Matthias ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
