[Ekiga-list] V4L/V4L2 video



Recently I became a happy owner of a laptop with an upside-down webcamera, which turned out to be rather a common problem.


I fixed the situation relatively easy by using "patched" libv4l libraries from Hans de Goede, so that the applications using libv4l are OK now (including Skype).

However, I'd like to move away from Skype for a number of reasons.


The problem that I faced with Ekiga is that I'm only able to get video from the webcamera if it is set up as GStreamer/V4L2, and video is of course, upside-down. Sound seems to be OK.
If I try to make camera work as PTLIB/V4L I get the error:


"Error while accessing video device USB 2.0 Camera. Your video driver doesn't support the requested video format."


Could anyone help me with this? What I need is just properly working video - either via V4L2 or V4L - it doesn't matter.


Ekiga 3.2.6


OpenSuse 11.3 x86_64 KDE 4.4.4


Kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop


xorg-x11-driver-video 7.5-15.2


Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset (Asus P50IJ laptop)


Thank you.
