dear All,
when first installing CentOs some 6 months ago, I noticed this strange thing called Ekiga.
Now, some guys at work use Skype and I heard that's owned by Microsoft. So enter James.
I bought a webcam, actualy 2, to test Ekiga. Logitech Webcam c210. I saw this url :http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ on this url :http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/Webcams and in short : I think I have the driver i need --V4L2-- on my Centos6 machine.
To make sure, I installed everything that came up under
# yum search V4L2 with epel testing enabled.
#dmesg | tail -n15 shows :
usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=0819 usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=2 usb 2-3: SerialNumber: CE6AA1D0 usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device<unnamed> (046d:0819) input: UVC Camera (046d:0819) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/input/input13
still in Ekiga i get error message ( translated from Dutch) :
an error occurred with video device UVC Camera (046d:0819) an error occurred when opening the device blahblahbla check access rights or driver.
under System - Preferences I can't find anything configurable ( is that even English ?)
Can anyone help me configure something somewhere or whatever is needed ?
Thanks a million in advance
James
