[Kopete] This webcam WORKS
I think it would be helpful if there was a running thread of webcams that are known to work with Kopete. This is my attempt.
I bought the Creative! Live Webcam Notebook Pro with VF0250 in the serial number from Fry's on Saturday in the USA. It is $49.99 with a $30 mail in rebate, so only costs $20.00. It uses the gspca driver and supports v4l and v4l2. It installed very easily and I had the webcam working in under 5 minutes. My yahoo friends are able to view my webcam with no problem and I can view theirs. I experience the same laggy behavior while typing messages that has been reported in another thread, but other than that it works perfectly.
I also have a Logitech Quickcam Fusion webcam that only supports v4l2 and it does not work at this time in Kopete, at least I have not been able to get it to work.
I am running Arch Linux with KDE 3.5.6 and Kopete version 0.12.4.
I hope this helps someone out or if you are looking to get a webcam points you in the right direction.
RE: [Kopete] This webcam WORKS
I am very curious to know what IM program did you use to get your webcam working for them to see you in Yahoo Messenger?
I've always had this problem and I have yet to figure it out.
I need a program for Linux that will allow video/voice communication with Yahoo Messenger.
Thx

Good idea!
So, here is the information about my webcam, which works flawlessly with the
gscpa module. It's a
genius webcam, which was quite cheap (I don't remember how much it was, but it wasn't expensive). The webcam is called
CamLook312p.

Cylent, I am using Kopete which is why it is in the subject line like so: [Kopete] and in my post I stated:
"My yahoo friends are able to view my webcam with no problem and I can view theirs."
Kopete is an IM and chat client in KDE.
Kopete & Webcam
Hello all,
here an experience i've done:
With Suse 10.2 the webcam dosn't work (shows the pictures on the own PC but no sending...)
on Kubuntu 7.04 it works with yahoo - but only if there is only just one account in kopete...
We still need some more development here ... :-D
