Hello Moshe
I had a webcam working with skype. It used 100% cpu. I deleted skype for
various reasons and won't enter them here. I am curious to know how much cpu
ekiga uses with the camera?
Moreover, don't try to understand skype, because it isn't understandable.

The kind of newbies' questions which I prefer to avoid is the repeating
one. One newbie asks how to mount his USB DiskOnKey. We answer him. A
week later, another newbie comes and (being newbie, he is totally
unaware of the list archives or of the documentation available from
Google),
I guess the term newbie here means those that do not search archives or
google before posting questions.
That is consistent with what the anti-noobs have been saying on the
list. However, if so then it should be stated on the signup page:
If you googled and RTFM first, ask here: linux...@~

Well I have only praise to say in the way Shlomi Fish answered my queries
regarding my Webcam problems, even though I have not succeeded to get it to
work. He compiled a file from source for webcams for me. I would never have
been able to do this.
As a newbe I really appreciate any help I get
