I've just subscribed to the list. For a long time, I've been trying to get gnomemeeting working on my son Adrian's computer. I've used GM for years on my machine, but on Adrian's computer, I have not gotten a webcam to work reliably. I've tried three different webcams each of which has worked on other machines. So I suspect that there's a problem higher up on his machine. The next level up is the USB, which is why I'm mailing here.
The three webcams use the drivers: pwc quickcam ov511 I think the usb controller is "Product=VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller" I got the following in the terminal from which I start xawtv: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xawtv This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.9amf) /dev/video0 [v4l]: no overlay support v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway ioctl: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP(driver="";card="";bus_info="";version=0.0.0;capabilities=0x0 [ ]): Unknown error 515 Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to type Fon tStruct v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? ioctl: VIDIOCSYNC(int=0): Interrupted system call v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems? Earlier, I've had problems with the webcam and found that keyboard input failed and I had to either restart X or reboot the machine. I've built my own 2.6.9 kernel and turned on the USB verbose debugging option in the kernel configuration Any advice? -- Andy Fraser ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
