On a new installation of sarge gnomemeeting says it can't open /dev/video0 but camorama evidently does since it displays an image -- however the image displayed is triplicated horizontally and b&w. The same webcam on another system displays color. Why can't gnomemeeting open the camera and what's wrong with camorama? -- "Power corrupts.
