First, my setup: * Ubuntu Feisty, with included kernel and uvcvideo module * Creative Labs Live! Cam Optia * Ekiga 2.0.9, OPAL 2.2.8, PWLib 1.10.7, all built from source from Ekiga website. I had to hack the PWLib configure script in order to enable V4L2 [1], this may be related to the problems.
The problems: When I start Ekiga, it immediately uses massive amounts of memory (1G virtual, 750M resident according to top), causing a delay while everything else is swapped out. The video display shows the initial view of the webcam. The very top portion of the image shows motion, but most of the image is static. The camera works with kdetv (V4L2 driver) and luvcview, though I haven't managed to get xawtv working. Has anyone managed to get this camera working with ekiga?
