Hi as you may be aware newer kernel drivers have built in support for a wider
range webcams. The newer kernel uses libv4l to access the camera. If kopete is
not patched then the application needs to be started with

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so kopete -caption "%c" %u

Is there anyway to get the application patched so that my camera can run
straight out of the box.

This is kinda useful when having kopete run at startup.
