[Ekiga-list] Newer versions of ekiga won't work with Intel USB cam (gspcav1 driver)

[John Z. Bohach]

Sorry if this has been answered, but though the archives list similar 
issues, can't find a solution.

I've been running ekiga-2.0.2 with pwlib-1.10.1 and opal-2.2.2 (all 
built purely from source) on a system with an Intel USB webcam that 
uses the gspcav1 driver.  Everything works fine as far as video goes.

I then upgraded to ekiga-2.0.11 (and pwlib-1.10.10 and opal-2.2.11 as 
required, again all build from source), and I start getting these 
popups regarding video:

Your driver doesn't seem to support any of the color formats supported 
by Ekiga.

Then, dmesg reveals:

.../linux/gspcav1-20070508/gspca_core.c: [spca5xx_set_light_freq:1889] 
Sensor currently not support light frequency banding filters.
.../linux/gspcav1-20070508/gspca_core.c: [gspca_set_isoc_ep:903] ISO 
EndPoint found 0x81 AlternateSet 7

And there are numerous repeats each time I attempt to access the camera.

So backed down to ekiga-2.0.9 (with the requisite pwlib-1.10.7 and 
opal-2.2.8) and I still get the same errors and no video.

So anybody know what happened between ekiga-2.0.2 and ekiga-2.0.9 (and 
associated pwlib and opal) that might cause this?  Almost seems that 
newer versions are trying to wring some feature out of the video driver 
that's not supported, and hence the issues...perhaps an auto-brightness 
feature or something?  Just guessing, but whatever it is ekiga-2.0.2 
didn't do it...

There don't appear to be any useful indications of cause of failure even 
if I run 'ekiga -d 4', but I can supply this if deemed useful...

Thanks for any insight...
