Description Georg Wittenburg 2008-06-20 20:07:05 UTC 
Version:           KDE 4.0.82 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Kopete fails to find the Motion Eye webcam in a Sony VAIO FZ21S. lsusb lists the camera as "Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05ca:183b Ricoh Co., Ltd" which is supported by the r5u870 driver and works fine with xawtv. The camera is available as /dev/video0, but the output of Kopete when going to Configure->Video is as follows:

Comment 1 Oliver Jensen 2008-07-12 21:30:05 UTC 
I can confirm this on my setup too:
Motion Eye (Sony VAIO FE890 with r5u870 driver installed). Works fine with skype/motion/etc.
Tested on Kubuntu Hardy (kde 4.0), Kubuntu Gutsy (kde 4.0, kde 4.1, kde nightly (NEON) as of July 12, 2008)
Comment 2 Georg Wittenburg 2008-07-19 16:54:53 UTC 
Still present in 4.0.98.
Comment 3 Jo Øiongen 2009-01-20 22:35:18 UTC 
I guess this https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177264 is a duplicate?
Comment 4 Georg Wittenburg 2009-07-25 00:24:04 UTC 
FIXED in 4.3 RC2. Thanks.
