From kde-linux Mon Jan 01 10:58:45 2007 From: Keith Powell Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2007 10:58:45 +0000 To: kde-linux Subject: [kde-linux] Kopete video Message-Id: <200701011058.45498.keith () keithg4jvx ! force9 ! co ! uk> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-linux&m=116764914318055 When I start Kopete, my Logitech Quick Cam Chat's picture is *very* dark. I can only just see me moving around. So, I go to settings->configure->devices->controls. If I slightly move the "brightness" control, the picture becomes very over-exposed and, consequently, looks 'washed out'. Move the brightness control very slightly again, and the picture loses its over-exposed look and becomes normal and perfectly useable. A slight adjustment of the other controls, makes the picture excellent. Press Apply and OK to save the settings and use the webcam. Unfortunately, the next time I boot the computer and run the camera, the settings have gone, and it is very dark again. So I have to repeat adjusting the brightness control and setting the camera up again. I there a way of making it remember the settings? I am using the mxhaard gspcav1-20061216 driver. I have tried other drivers, but this is the only one which will make my web cam work. I have tried it in four Linux distros, and have the same problem in them all. Also, it's only with Kopete, which is the program I like the best! I need to use the MSN protocol. Please could anyone offer any advice?
