[Kopete][SOLVED] green image with webcam

Hi,

so I use a webcam that needs a jpeg decomp (ov51x & ov519_decomp modules)
it works OK with gnomemeeting but not with Kopete.

It is detected by Kopete but I only have green images see screenshot!

I already tried this

Source code

 
1

modprobe ov51x --ignore-install force_palette=13



(rastageeks.org advise)

any hint please, Kopete is the only messenger that could save me to get conversation with MSN people and this fuc*** webcam !!


bye

Yep

I've seen but we don't use the same driver so I can't apply the patch :(
my webcam needs ov51x ...

so it works when I load the module ov51x as follows:

Source code

 
1

modprobe ov51x force-palette=13

however when the module is already loaded, no way to change it...

bye

you can unload your module by using the following command

Source code

 
1

modprobe -r ov51x
and then reload it with the new options
