Hello i have this laptop and i want to setup the blouetooth, tha card reader and the webcam that it has integrated. i have installed a couple of applications for the bluetooth (kbluetooth) and for the webcam (webKam) but it seems that it doesnt even see the devices. How can i make the system see these devices?
Read here:
HCL/Web Cameras - openSUSE
HCL/Bluetooth Adapters - openSUSE
see if there are any pointers for you
… the problem is that i dont know the manufucator of the camera and the bluetooth… they are both integrated in the laptop… how can i see that?
Install “usbutils” and then type “lsusb” (no quotes) and that will list your usb devices. The odds are that the “internal/integrated” webcam is using an internal usb interface to the laptop PC’s motherboard. In particular pay attention to the vendor and device ID’s associated with the webcam.
i think it is this:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f2:b008 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
my camera is listed to the second list entitled as: If your webcam still doesn’t work , but there is drivers only for 10.2, why is that??
i have also:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless Adapter
which as i can see to wireless secction is not supported too… i have also checked to realtek for drivers… but there is no for lnux…
which means it needs the uvc driver
Its because you misunderstood what is written on that wiki. The wiki means the repository they are listing is only for openSUSE-10.2. That does not mean there are not repositories for 11.0. Just the contrary.
That URL notes you need the uvcvideo-kmp-default (or the one for your kernel flavor) and install it. So type:uname -aand determine what your kernel is. Lets say you get "Linux your-pc 2.6.25.11.0.1-pae … ". That would indicate a 2.6.25.11.0.1-pae kernel (which in the case of the example that I am illustrating, is different from the “default” kernel). Rather you would need the uvcvideo-kmp-pae driver for your webcam.
So if one goes to web pin and does a search for uvcvideo-kmp-pae one gets:
Webpin search for uvcvideo-kmp-pae
… and on that page, for the example I am providing, look for a “uvcvideo-kmp-pae” with the 2.6.25.11 in the version number. … For example: uvcvideo-kmp-pae (r242_2.6.25.11_0.1) is in the following repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/drivers:/webcam/openSUSE_11.0_Update
So you can add that repos (on a temporary basis) with the following commands in sequence in a gnome-terminal or konsole (after first typing “su” (no quotes) to get root permissions):
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/drivers:/webcam/openSUSE_11.0_Update webcam
zypper install uvcvideo-kmp-pae
zypper rr webcam
… and then you can follow the wiki instructions … i.e. … Plug in the webcam and start Kopete again. In Kopete go back to Settings -> Configure -> Devices and check if your webcam is working …You may find a reboot easiest for you to load the webcam kernel module (not sure).
You will need to modify this for your kernel. ie if your kernel is “default” do NOT use a “pae” driver. 
… its all common sense and logical, once one understands the way things are done.
I note there are no 2.6.25.16 drivers. Try a 2.6.25.11 driver if you have the 2.6.25.16 kernel. If that fails you may have to build your own.
I’m off on vacation … starting tomorrow, so other’s will have to pick up the thread if you run in to problems.
