Also, I note that what you want, is apparently beyond the capability of Ekiga. In checking in my Ekiga on this computer (Ekiga v 4.0.1), the highest available video resolution, is 704x576. In checking the specifications for Ekiga, at http://ekiga.org/ekiga-softphone-features is " Video Version 4.0 High Framerate support (up to 30 fps) Configurable Resolution, up to DVD quality (from 176x144 to 704x576) " so, the 704x576 resolution, is, apparently, the highest resolution, currently available for Ekiga. I think that skype might be able to give the resolution that you seek - I do not know. I have skype 4.3 on this computer, and I can not find how to adjust the video resolution from the webcam. From memory, I had been able to do that, when skype 2.2 beta for Linux, was available, years ago, but I can not find how to do it, now. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
