this is kind of weird … everything else (skype, cheese) finds my integrated gateway usb 2.0 webcam (/dev/video0), just not kopete … when i go to options->video, i get a blue screen and there’s nothing in the options below … just emptiness … any suggestion is very welcome … also … i am a gui guy, so if you need any sys info, could you please provide the code to get it, and i shall then promptly get you the info you need … thanks, theo
i am so totally out of luck with this, aren’t i … :’( … theo
Seems to be a bug web-cams will only work with amsn so far
/Geoff
what’s puzzling is that the cam worked with 11.0 … i had to upgrade, since 11.1 supported my integrated rtl8187b wifi card … it’s not the end of the world, just 've been used to it … theo
wwops didn’t mean to edit meant to edit my post

It will probably be fixed soon until then you could try amsn

opensuse 11.1
Works in kde4-kopete for me
However it is a usb webcam
it gets weirder … so i switched over to kopete kde4, and now i can see the device but only a green screen … then i thought, let’s be sneaky: turned cheese on, and then went into kopete’s video setup: actually worked … for a second or two … now, when i go back to cheese, webcam stays off and only comes back up after i logoff and kill kopete … also: there are no webcam requests or feed icons in kopete kde4’s chat windows … theo
Running 11.1. My webcam works in Skype. Kopete has nothing listed.
I am running KDE 3.5.XX. Webcam is coming in from composite source of Hauppaauge BT878 TV card. Works perfectly in most other applications (xawtv will not launch) but Kdtv works fine. Is this just a Kopete bug? A bug with Kopete in OpenSuSE 11.1 or what? I am an OpenSuSE newbie.
What must you do to make this work? Anyone?
