yes, the v4l2 problem was known for quite some time and actually we had considered to do another upload right the moment when SARGE was released. Thus the v4l2 default happend on accident rather than on purpose. The gnomemeeting 1.2.1-2 holds the fix already and we hope to get it into ETCH as soon as the g++ transition permits. -- Best regards, Kilian
