This is maybe https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626515.

 

Thanks Eugen, looks very much like it - will give the workaround a crack and see.

Cheers,

No joy - doesn't change behaviour.

For reference, I altered ekigaconf at

c:\Users\dave\AppData\Roaming\ekiga.conf

To read:

<applyto>/apps/ekiga/general/user_interface/video_display/disable_hw_accel</applyto>
<type>bool</type>
<default>true</default>

I could tell Ekiga was writing to this file by the date modified timestamp of the file changing concurrently with the running of Ekiga. 

A debug output is here (I simply launched Ekiga, and used the call panel to attempt to locally preview video):

This is on a Dell E4310, running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. It has Intel HD integrated graphics. I am using the integrated webcam in this case. 

I have another laptop here with an nVidia GPU, I'll see if it's any different. 

Cheers, 
Dave
