Bug Description

Binary package hint: ekiga

This may not be a bug as so much a complaint about the UI. The default settings for the webcam did not work. The Detect devices button did not do anything. I have tried all input devices and I always get the message below

Error while accessing video device Integrated Webcam

Your video driver doesn't support the requested video format.

A moving logo will be transmitted during calls. Notice that you can always transmit a given image or the moving logo by choosing "Picture" as video plugin and "Moving logo" or "Static picture" as device.

My Webcam works with no adjustments using Cheese.

I am using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10

I expected Ekiga to find my webcam without changing settings. Instead I got an error message.
