Re: HELP: skype, webcam and video

[Rohit Joshi <rj.rohit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Great to see it works.  Skype automatically switches to X11 if no XV
ports are found.
So, I think it should work for everyone.

I still don't know why mplayer works and skype does not work for me.
If anyone comes accross this strange problem, please let me know.

Enjoy your webcam.

Cheers,

Rohit
