  1. Choosing the correct kmp-package for your installation - openSUSE Forums

  2. Webpin - gspca-kmp openSUSE 11.1

/lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-default/updates/m5602/gspca_m5602.ko

Then read it again.

There is a bug in the kopete shipped with openSUSE 11.1(Which has been fixed over time). Assuming you still have the shipped version, this bug prevents webcam from running in kopete, and in any other application after opening it in kopete. Try it in some other application first. If it works in other apps(aMSN,Skype,luvcview) then the problem is with kopete and you need to update it.

owh
so…
i cannot use it in kopete build in…?

Well not unless you update kopete. I have v0.70.2 and it works. But I would recommend checking if the problem is with kopete or your webcam. Try your webcam in another program first and then in kopete. If it doesn’t work in either then it’s not from kopete.
