Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] V4L configuration

[JGJones <mailgroups bluecheetah biz>]

THe webcam I use is Logitech Quickcam Pro4000 - which I believe use the 
Philips chipset - isn't that in the kernal? I certinaly can't see any 
drivers...plug it in and go!

To see an example of the picture I am getting with my camera - 
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/6171/capture1rc.jpg

The picture is perfect in Windows - so I know it is not the camera at 
fault. How do I tweak the driver? Reinstall it? I haven't the foggiest 
idea on how to do that.

I did think of using black and white but it's bleached out if i do that 
due to the existing colour problem as you can see on the above link.

Many thanks
