Description mammique 2004-05-05 19:09:57 UTC 
Quickcam USB models only have a single buffer, since version 0.8.1 gstreamer
emulates a second buffer but you need some option when loading the kernel module
"quickcam" :

do this as root :

# echo "options quickcam compatible=255" >> /etc/modules.conf
# depmod -a
# rmmod quickcam
# insmod quickcam

Sorry, I thought about this for a few weeks and I don't think this should be in
our FAQ. Rather, it should be documented better in the quickcam documentation.
