Hi,
I just wanted to let all you know that the webcam Genius VideoCam V2 0458:7007 is being incorrectly detected in openSUSE starting from 11.2. Because invalid sensor is probed: CS2102K instead of TAS5130C
Wrong dmesg:
[47176.071110] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
[47176.213192] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0458, idProduct=7007

[47177.872678] usbcore: registered new interface driver zc3xx
As a result the camera produces Input/Output error when using it.
(there are bugs filed for Fedora: 571189 – Genius webcam (0458:7007) doesn't work and 526020 – Genius webcam not work but no resolution or workaround filed)
To make it working you need to configure module gspca_zc3xx to force sensor to TAS5130C.
Create file in /etc/modprobe.d/gspca.conf and put there a line:
options gspca_zc3xx force_sensor=17
Now reload the module or restart your system.
Dmesg should show:
[48555.779206] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
[48555.922225] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0458, idProduct=7007

Now the camera works fine.
To use it with skype you need to run skype by this command:
> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
Hope this helps somebody
Cheers!
