Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Red Hat 9 driver issue maybe GM issue

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

Hello Dennis,

Redhat changed the threading mechanism in RH9, and I was told by
Equivalence that it could potentially break all openh323 and pwlib
programs.
However we have had some reports of people with no problems with a
webcam and RedHat 9, then only problems were with Quicknet cards.

The fact that gqcam works doesn't prove there is no bug in the driver,
GM is requesting another behavior from the driver.

However, there is this mail that could help you:
