Thanks for your quick response, that fixed the memory usage problem. However, now I get no picture at all, just a grey space. General History says 16:49:36 Successfully opened video device Live!

I realize this isn't very much information, I'm happy to provide more if you tell me how to get it. -Ben yannick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi, > > Maybe it will be better with those packages : > http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Linux_Users#Feisty_i386 > > Regards, > Yannick > > Le mercredi 04 juillet 2007 à 14:05 -0700, Ben Jencks a écrit : >> First, my setup: >> >> * Ubuntu Feisty, with included kernel and uvcvideo module >> * Creative Labs Live!
