I (linux newbe) 've upgraded from 11.0 to 11.1 last week everything works great except my webcam (Logitech Quickcam IM)
lsusb list the webcam correctly
Yast lists a unspecified model
Skype shows /dev/video 1 test fails
installing gspcav1 fails with the following error:
“nothing provides kernel(default:drivers_usb_core) = 4460f5d7752dd946 needed by gspcav1-kmp-default-20071224_2.6.25.5_1.1-10.4.i586”
Please advice:(
Have you added the webcams repository from the community repositories in YaST?
I have the same problem. In 11.0 it worked great but now in 11.1 it’s not working anymore.
I have added the webcam repository. All hints are appreciated!

sorry my ‘english’
I have the same problem with a Pleomax webcam after upgrading to 11.1; the problem is related to the fact that in the webcam drivers’ repository
Index of /repositories/drivers:/webcam/openSUSE_11.1
there are no longer the gspcav1 kernel drivers, which are needed for these kinds of cameras. Has anyone any idea why those drivers are no longer available ???
Hello,
I think I’ve read that this is now part of the mainline kernel, but there is a problem with the driver.
In v11 you only install the gspca driver/module and your up…
I think this driver was deprecated 'cause I did not find it… only the libv4l library, which must be preloaded in order to work with any app.
EDIT: BTW, this library works by far, much much better than the old gpsca driver.
