my isight works now.. it was a really silly problem. the only thing i have done is to download [1] (its the same as ronald bultje's except, that this version includes the firmware-loading) and executed gstreamer-properties. there i had to change the default input for video to V4L2 and not V4L. thats it.. kinda stupid.. ;) as far i tested it, it works quite reliable. how is the isight connected to the motherboard? usb or firewire? i cant say it.. best regards, daniel [1]: http://i-nz.net/2007/04/18/apple-built-in-isight-linux-driver-update/ -- this mail was sent using 100% recycled electrons ================================================ daniel g. siegel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://home.cs.tum.edu/~siegel gnupg key id: 0x6EEC9E62 fingerprint: DE5B 1F64 9034 1FB6 E120 DE10 268D AFD5 6EEC 9E62 encrypted email preferred
