I have a problem getting my Philips Toucam working in Kopete.
When I go to the devices section of the configuration, the cpu is at 100% and after some time I get to see the tab, but no video. There's just a QT logo where the video should be, though the options show the webcam. The machine continues using 100% and I can't get to change the settings in the tab.
Other times, however, the program crashes when I click the devices tab.
When I open Kopete from the console, it shows:

$ kopete
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
Major opcode: 145
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0

The webcam works fine in both Xawtv and gqcam.

Please, can anyone help me with this?

I just downloaded version 0.12.2 of Kopete, as it has become available as a package for Ubuntu. It seems to have fixed some of the problems, as I now get a black screen instead of the QT logo, and the program doesn't lock up.
I'll have to see if I can get it to work now.
