Webcam worked flawless under openSUSE 11.3. After Upgrade (not fresh install) to 11.4RC1, the systems level driver of the camera still seems to work: *Start Ekiga *Select in Properties->Video: Input device: Camera PTLIB/V4L2 *Ekiga shows the webcam video when clicking on 'Display images from your camera device'. However, using gstreamer as driver does not work: *Start Ekiga *Select in Properties->Video: Input device: Camera Gstreamer/V4L2 *Ekiga does not show the webcam video when clicking on 'Display images from your camera device'. Pressing the 'Test' Button in gstreamer-properties, Video Tab, selecting the V4L2 camera, yields a dialogue box: 'Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Could not negotiate format'. Console output in response to clicking the 'Test' button is: 'Could not negotiate format [gstbasesrc.c(2778): gst_base_src_start (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src1: Check your filtered caps, if any]' Likewise, programs such as cheese or skype cannot communicate with the webcam (which both worked in 11.3). Testing with a different (newer) Logitech camera (also v4l2) did not show this effect and worked perfectly. Therefore, I suspect it seems to be an issue both hardware and gstreamer specific.
