[GnomeMeeting-list] video device fails to be detected

[Joaquim Laureano <laureano lusostar com>]

Hi

I used to have gnomemeeting working on Fedora Core 3.  Though it would
fails to terminate connections properly when I initiated the
termination, I could see video during my connections.

Recently I upgraded my system to Fedora Core 4, and am now unable to
make gnomemeeting detect the video device.  Sound is fine.  Here is
hardware and the error that I find in /var/log/messages.

Webcam: Quickcam 4000 pro

Error: Jun 19 09:49:31 netcomp1 kernel: pwc Failed to allocate
decompress table.

I did some research and am under the impression that the kernel for this
release of Fedora, kernel-2.6.11-1.1369, is missing the required support
for my camera.  It seems that there is another version of the kernel
which will have the needed support.  Is this the case?  What else can I
do other than wait for a new kernel version?  Is it worth to try and
install pwcx?

Thank you for your help.
