[GnomeMeeting-list] Error while opening video device - with 0.85.1



Hi, 

I cannot get gnomemeeting 0.85.1 to work using my webcam. I get the
following warning message: 
    "Error while opening video device /dev/video0, channel 0. 
    A test image will be transmitted. 
    Could not open the chosen channel with the chosen video format." 
I cannot find any information about what channel to select (I've tried 0
thru 10). I cannot find any information on what format (I've tried all
the available, PAL, NTSC, SECAM, and Auto). 

My camera works without any problems using gqcam (the only other "video"
software that I have) with /dev/video0. 

Here are some of my system details 
    Camera: Creative Webcam usb Model PD0040 (OmniVision 0518) 
    loaded modules: videodev, ov511, ov518_decomp, usbcore 
    Devices: /dev/video0 (points to /dev/v4l/video0) 
    System: Mandrake 8.1 (kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk) 
I would appreciate any help. And please let me know what additional
information you may need from me. 

Thanks
