Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2003-10-20 19:28:28 UTC
does this still happen without the webcam driver loaded ?

Comment 2 David Kaplan 2003-10-20 21:14:09 UTC
The webcam driver is definitely a possible culprit, but it has only happened
once, so I can't say for sure.


Comment 3 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:41:36 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
