I know that there can be problems on netmeeting about the refresh of the
pictures, but on my own LAN, I get a lot more frames per second.
Is it a problem with your webcam driver ? A problem with your network
card ? Have you tried from GM to GM?

I don't think so, or it would not have worked.

My advice is : don't do it !
Perhaps try to use older RPMS or to compile it yourself on this
computer, but don't break your computer in installing GnomeMeeting RPMS
needing a newer libc. It will break everything.
