does ekiga 3.2 support v4l cameras? i am using a creative webcam model
pd1030 which uses the ov511 driver on ubuntu jaunty. xawtv works with
the camera. ekiga gives me "unable to access video device" when trying
to connect a call. has anyone else had this problem?

It does support it if the option is enabled in ptlib. Some distros
disable v4l v1 in ptlib. Unfortunately the ov511 camera doesn't
currently support the v4l2 spec yet, although this is going to change
very soon as the author of libv4l has added support for these cameras
to the gspda video drivers.

Have you installed the libpt-...-v4l package?

What does 'ls -lR /usr/lib/ptlib*' show?

I have installed the libpt-...-v4l package.
"ls -IR /usr/lib/ptlib*" gives me:

Do you receive the same error message now?  If yes, please start ekiga
like this:
$ ekiga -d 4 2>output.txt
and send us the output.txt file, after having compressed it with gzip
for ex.

Peter, so it should work with v4l even if libv4l2 is not installed, is
that right?

If your querying that the ov511 cam will work with just v4l installed, yes.

after enabling v4l in ptlib and reinstalling ptlib, opal and ekiga,
the camera works!
thanks. I guess I just needed to enable v4l in ptlib.
