Thanks for the reply, Darrell,
I've got a follow-up question for you as I still can't seem to get get
mine working.
When I fire up gnomemeeting, it reports an error saying "Error while
opening video device , channel 0. A test image will be transmitted.
Error while opening the device".
This is in the stock 8.2beta4 2.4.18-2mdk kernel, and I've got the
following kernel modules loaded:
mod_quickcam 32864 0 (unused)
videodev 4896 0 [mod_quickcam]
usbcore 59072 1 [mod_quickcam audio usb-uhci]
What do you have listed under Video Device when you go to
Edit/Settings/GnomeMeeting Preferences? Did you have to add anything to
your modules.conf or anything else in order for this to work? Or did
you simply plug the camera in, modprobe mod_quickcam, fire up
gnomemeeting, and have it work?
Thanks,
-Charlie

Welcome to UNIX! Enjoy your session! Have a great time! Note the
use of exclamation points! They are a very effective method for
demonstrating excitement, and can also spice up an otherwise plain-looking
sentence! However, there are drawbacks! Too much unnecessary exclaiming
can lead to a reduction in the effect that an exclamation point has on
the reader! For example, the sentence
Jane went to the store to buy bread
should only be ended with an exclamation point if there is something
sensational about her going to the store, for example, if Jane is a
cocker spaniel or if Jane is on a diet that doesn't allow bread or if
Jane doesn't exist for some reason! See how easy it is?! Proper control
of exclamation points can add new meaning to your life! Call now to receive
my free pamphlet, "The Wonder and Mystery of the Exclamation Point!"!
Enclose fifteen(!) dollars for postage and handling! Operators are
standing by! (Which is pretty amazing, because they're all cocker spaniels!)
