Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Quickcam USB very weird problem

[vanilla <vanilla tuxfamily org>]

Hi Kilian !
I'm very glad to tell you that the video under Gnome Meeting runs after 
type "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" !
So, I think I will put snd-pcm-oss in /etc/modules.autoload or test your 
second solution.

Weirdly, under Vanity, I've got the same green picture. Logically, if 
the output on GnomeMeeting is OK and not OK on Vaninty, it's surely 
because *in* Vanity program, there is a bug, no ? But it's not important 
because I'm not using this program. However, maybe I should report the 
bug on the bugzilla's Vanity.

Thanks you, thanks you, thanks you very much Kilian :)
