Hi all, I amd trying to setup Gnomemeeting with my Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 on my newly installed Slackware 9.1 box. Sound is ok, but when I come to test the video from within Gnomemeetings setup druid I get:

"your driver doesn't support the YUV420P Color format"

I am using the bare.i default kernel which appears to detect and install the driver:

"your driver doesn't support the YUV420P Color format"

you have to load the pwcx module that came with the driver for the camera.

Thanks for this. I now have the pwcx module loaded and it works great now.

Thanks
