So my sister wants to do video IM chat. Fine. I look up compatible IM
programs and come up with Kopete. Install it through Synaptic, Kopete is
version 0.12.7 (is that recent?). I have two webcams, one (the more recent)
Kopete calls "USB2.0 JPEG Webcam", 17a1:0128, and the other it calls "USB
Camera (0733:0430)" and lsusb calls "ViewQuest Technologies, Inc. Intel Pro
Share WebCam". Kopete shows the picture from neither, both appear as a
black square, usually with some garbage at the top.
I compiled the camera drivers from gspca-3a2ca168163e, the new one is
gspca_t613.ko and the old one is gspca_spca505.ko. I tried v4l2 straight,
that plus "Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer (NEW)", and "Enable
Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)". I turned on "Enable old-style fixed
minor ranges for video devices" and "USB Video Class (UVC)". None helped.
Any ideas?
-- The mnky gibbering and screeching used to keep me up at night, although in the lst week or so it's prtty mch tailed off to nthng. The smell has gttn noticbly worse in the last cple of days, too. The next time I get a barrl full of mnkys, I'm going to try taking the lid off. -groo, AFCA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided as an unmoderated internet service by Networked Knowledge Systems (NKS).
