I wonder if suid would make a difference?  Although, I'm using
mdk9.1 on this particular machine and the only thing is, I have
devfs=nomount in my lilo.conf.  Other than that, all I did was
urpmi the gnomemeeting packages and then I went to the
gnomemeeting site this morning and grabbed the latest mandrake
rpms and urpmi'd them.  My problem is a bit different, but I'm
able to bring the program up with no problems.  Stupid question,
and it really shouldn't matter anyway, but what kind of camera is
it?
