Hi all
So, i have a webcam, sony eyetoy, and it works well with cheese. Using ubuntu intrepid 32bit, which comes with ekiga 2.0.12.
However, trying to set up ekiga, it fails to find the video input device. just says "no device found" using either v4l or v4l2
it does find the audio input on the camera, but not the video.
running ekiga with -d 6, the following debug messages are seen:

(same thing with v4l)
/sys/class/video4linux does have the video0 symlink in it:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2009-02-12 13:41 video0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-1/video4linux/video0
would appreciate any suggestions as to how to make ekiga recognize the webcam... if i could even somehow point it directly to /dev/video0 or something...
thanks!
