Below is from my notes so not sure it will help or make sense :) Better late than never? I have got my isight working in ekiga today. On my g4 emac running Debian etch. I'm not sure which packages worked as I tried a whole bunch, below are that packages I installed. Installed the following packages: dvbackup (0.0.4rj1-6) dvgrab (1.8-4) gscanbus (0.7.1-6) gstreamer0.8-dv (0.8.12-6) libdc1394-11 (1.0.0-4) libdv-bin (1.0.0-1) libpt-plugins-avc (1.10.2-2) libpt-plugins-dc (1.10.2-2) libquicktime0 (2:0.9.7-1) libraw1394-5 (0.10.1-1.1) Then as root I ran coriander in a terminal and the isight showed up and worked fine though on disconecting I had to unplug the camera and replug it to activate it again. I quit coriander then I still as root setup an ekiga account and checked enable video. then video plugin as 1394dc. then input device as /dev/video1394/0. then auto and it worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
