I am attempting to find a Linux replacement for the video chats that I do with MSN live messenger. So far it looks like Kopete is the more advanced Linux IM. With some work I was able to get the webcam working on my SuSE 11/KDE4 setup but I have not gotten Kopete to work with the camera. I can run gideo and see the webcam picture. I close gideo but see that 3 processes are still running gconfg-2 pulseaudio gconf-helper I open Kopete but it doesn't show any camera device. Now after running Kopete, gideo doesn't work at all. I killed the three processes and gideo works again. If I kill the three processes or reboot, Kopete shows the webcam device but it still doesn't work. There is no picture. The first two fields show the camera but the "standard" field is blank. I have looked at http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=kopete%20webcam%20support&comzone=show and I believe I have followded it. still no picture. any suggestions?
