I just bought a webcam last saturday from the Aldi supermarket. I got it
reduced from 25€ to 5€. It works after some Gogling to get the colour
working, on Xawtv, and Camstream, but how do I use it with Kopete?
The only thing I could find on Kopete's plugins was "Netmeeting", which
uses gnomemeeting. Is this what I need to use, and how do I setup a
connection to someone else.
I don't want to discredit Linux, and make it look like it's rubbish, so
am just looking for some pointers as to how the webcam works with Kopete.
As you probably asume, I will be contacting folks using MS windows, who
are either using MSN, or AIM.

Webcam: Lifetec LT9388 using ov511+, and well supported with Linux.
Test distro: Kubuntu 5.10
Kernel: 2.6.12-10-386
Kopete is an all-purpose, multi-protocol messenging system. I don't
think it can use webcams. However, you can use amsn (Aldo's MeSseNger)
which is able to behave almost like MSN - webcam included. It works well
once you've configured port redirection on your routers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at that as I see that I have it
installed, and the icon is staring at me on the desktop.
Nigel.
