The Drivers Wishlist[1] seems to have had quite a few requests for
webcam drivers over time; would it be possible to get some of these in
for 10.3? spca5xx for example is very popular, supports a plethora of
webcams[2], is GPL'd, and is already built very well in the build
service[3]. I've played with 5 different webcams over the days, and
all of them worked perfectly with kopete and that driver.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
This would be a most welcome addition in my book!
I plugged my camera in and SLED10SP1 sees the camera in hardware
information but I haven't been able to load a driver yet.
I could compile one ;)

Well to all of this about Webcams. Which ones are the most usable on linux? I once had one that liked ov511 module but it was a hog for power so it is now owned by someone else.
