That confirms what I found in ekiga. The colour is a great deal better than I
can get in amsn, which points to the application rather than the driver, I
think.

spcagui only gave me the video window (in FC6) and I had to kill it to stop
it. Clearly there is a problem with that one.

I'm now convinced that it's the software, not the driver. After seeing what
ekiga could do, I expected to find that. However, like you, I couldn't
adjust the colour at all. No big deal, though, as it was acceptable.
