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



Some people with the same kernel as you upgraded their module version of
ov511 (get it at alpha.dyndns.org) and now have good results.

I suspect it could help in your case too. If not, recontact us. We can
also execute gnomemeeting with the --debug option, that will tell you
where it fails provided that pwlib was compiled with PTRACING enabled.
