Does it appear when you close ekiga?
I dont close ekiga it show: The program 'ekiga' received an X Window System error. and it crash
What do you do when it crashes?
nothing I run ekiga from terminal, it crash and return to prompt http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17757?string=ekiga
Hi, I don't know if relevant: 2010/02/24 10:22:43.744 0:04.964 GMVideoOut...0xf7ef5710 GMVideoOutputManager_X VO_MODE_LOCAL: Could not open XV Window 2010/02/24 10:22:43.744 0:04.964 GMVideoOut...0xf7ef5710 GMVideoOutputManager_X Falling back to SW since HW acceleration failed to initalize It uses software backend to init the video...
with "gconf-editor" in the key: /apps/ekiga/general/user_interface/video_display/disable_hw_accel I enable it restart ekiga but same crash
Thanks, Yannick, this bug seems to be a duplicate of bug #593067. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 593067 ***
with disable_hw_accel ekiga crash too
Created attachment 154624 [details] with: HW acceleration was deactivated by configuration
sacarde, Ekiga cannot use use hardware acceleration anyway in your actual setup. We suspect the bug to be in the software replacement builtin ekiga. A possible workaround could be to disable the "disable_hw_accel" key with gconf-editor AND add XV support for your video driver (it is up to the video driver to have XV support, not to ekiga).
I use vesa driver on Xorg may be this a problem ?
vesa does not use the powerful capability of video cards. You need to use a driver specific to your card. What does "lspci" show?
nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430]
Well, you need to install xserver-xorg-video-nv package. The problem is that, in a few words, even if this driver is better than vesa, it does not provide the powerful hardware acceleration (to my knowledge)...
The driver Nouveau made its inclusion in the fresh kernel 2.6.33, probably the best choice if not using proprietary driver, or wait for the fix in Ekiga.
and I forgot to mention Nouveau has Xv (Xvideo) support.
