[GnomeMeeting-list]Getting started problem

[Andries Dippenaar <apj sanpeople com>]

Howdy,

  I'm just getting started with this whole video conferencing thing 
on Linux having used NetMeeting and funkier stuff like ProShare et al 
on Windows before. My setup is as follows:
  RedHat Linux      7.1
  XFree86 (core)    4.0.3-5
  XFree86 (driver)  S3 Savage 1.1.15
  Gnome (core)      1.4.0.5-ximian.5
  Gnome (libs)      1.2.13-ximian.11
  GnomeMeeting      0.11-2
  pwlib             1.1.36-4
  openh323          1.6.1-3

The latter three packages (RPMs) were sourced at www.gnomemeeting.org
Apart from the three packages, are there any other dependencies or 
stuff that I need to get this up and running? Any required XFree86 
extensions maybe?
  I get the following symptoms: I start up GnomeMeeting, and under 
the Settings menu I go to "General | Device Settings" and (with the 
defaults of Video Device=/dev/video0, Video Channel=0) click on "Video 
Test" only to get the following error message:
  "Impossible to open this device"
Now I've checked that /dev/video0 exists (major 81, minor 0) and have 
even `chmod 666' it to make sure it's a user vs root thing. No joy! Is 
there a kernel module that needs loading or what am I missing here?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million,
Andries
