Video card driver with Xv support. Either a built-in or external microphone is required for voice calls. An internet connection – broadband is best (GPRS is not supported for voice calls). Qt 4.7 • D-Bus 1.0.0 libasound2 1.0.18 PulseAudio 1.0 (optional) BlueZ 4.0.0 (optional) I saw a post, I think it was SlashDot, that the FreeBSD kernel was not robust enough to handle Skype. You might want to talk to the developers. You can always download a clean distribution of Skype from the web site and experiment with it. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
