[AG-TECH] webcam problem - lenovo T500 (Fedora Core 10)

[Douglas Kosovic]

Just a quick follow up, some users reported an issue with the video 
appearing as green and purple from the capture device, so I've made 
available a new version with a bug fix.

x86_64 Fedora 10 RPM:
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/ag3/fedora/development/RPMS/vic-2.8ucl1.4.0-0.1.20090213svn.fc10.x86_64.rpm

the corresponding src RPM :
