The webcam appears under YaST hardware but it doesnt work.
I dont know what to do so. Any recomendations? I’m new to the system, kernel and all this stuff, I dont even know how to work with the terminal :, I have worked with windows all my life so…
HI
This one uses the uvcvideo. What openSUSE release and desktop are you
using?
Can you open a terminal/konsole and run the following commands and post
the output;
lsmod |grep uvcvideo
uname -a

That looks good. So if you run the application cheese, does that work?

Cheese doesnt work.
Amsn does but with really bad quality and it takes one or two minutes for the cam to start so idk
Hi
So what release of openSUSE are you using? I’m assuming it’s a 32bit
system?
Can you install the v4l-tools and post the output from;
v4l-info
You could also try to set the LD_PRELOAD variable;
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so"
cheese
Or run the Amsn client from the command line after the export command.
It’s probably something to do with v4l1 and v4l2 libraries. Could also
check and see what v4l items you have installed via;
rpm -qa |grep v4l
