webcams don't work on kopete

Hello, I have configured a SN9C102 Webcam, that works correctly in aMSN (phew!), and on the sonic-snap.

But in kopete doesn't work :S, look at the screens:

Sonic-Snap view:

Kopete view:

What can I do to get Kopete working correctly on webcams?

Greetings

Re: webcams don't work on kopete

Hiya Davigetto,

after looking at this post, it looks like your webcam is a V4L2 device.
Unfortunately Kopete doesn't support these yet.

However, there is a patch for Kopete around which is supposed to get V4L2 devices working, it's included in the KDEmod version of Kopete for example.

Good luck with your cam!

EDIT: Or I might have mixed it up, sorry...:/
The applied patch can be found at http://www.alexandredenis.net/software/kopete-uvc/ - but it's more for uvc-webcams
