-Skype and camera issues
------------------------
-It has been pointed out by a lot of users that skype has problems with
-some cameras, in most cases this leads to green screen or no video at
-all. This happens because V4L API (legacy) has been dropped from newer
-kernels, and pixel format decoding has been pushed to user space.
-Moreover, V4L2 does not support kernel space decoding. Since skype
-supports only V4L, easiest way to get it working is to preload it with
-V4L compatibility library, and call skype like this:
-
- LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
-
-If you are still having problems, try adding the following as aswell:
-
- XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
-
-Included with this package is an alternative desktop file modified to
-include those variables. For easy use, just copy it to your home
-directory:
-
- cp /usr/doc/skype-4.2.0.13/skype-alternative.desktop \
- ~/.local/share/applications

-# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
-# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
-# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
-# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
-# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
-# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
