Hi,
Issues with this piece of kit have been discussed before, so here are my problems.
I have tried to follow the instructions on HCL/Web Cameras - openSUSE
unfortunately without much success.
I have gspca2 drivers installed currently, so one thing I was wondering whether I should install gspca1
When I test the webcam in kopete I get a mainly ugly green screen with a bar of colourful dots at the top (if this makes sense), but certainly no nice picture.
Any advice is appreciated!
Peter
