Description 246824681 2008-02-29 03:55:50 UTC
Version:           0.12.7 (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu

I'm using a spca5xx/(now I guess gspca) webcam, I usually change to aMSN when I'm going to send the stream to someone for the following reason:
The driver SUCKS(or maybe the webcam, but in windows its working fine) anyway it's not your fault I know this, BUT aMSN for Example, does not get slower or freeze with the webcam(unless whole system freezes for shure)
Kopete, even just typing any message, just reacts/actualizes what I see on screen when the webcam/driver sends a new Image, gets freaking slow and ugly like this, aMSN and other aplication don't...
I'll try to report a Bug for the driver too, but it's not necesary that Kopete depends this much on the webcam other Aplications don't do it...
