As the usage of webcams is rising, eg. through instant messanger this feature request adresses more and more users Discussion: #1: andrea florio (anubisg1) (2008-11-18 16:33:45) indeed, may be usefull to suggest the correct driver and/or the viewer to use... example uvcvideo webcam works with luvcview but not with camorama or wxcam and so on #2: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-02-09 15:24:22) (reply to #1) en.opensuse.org has several resources on how to write yast modules. If you have concrete ideas what to do, go ahead. The yast team will openly welcome you to help. + #3: T. J. Brumfield (enderandrew) (2009-06-13 02:26:22) + I think what might help significantly is simply taking the lsusb + vendor/device string, and then comparing that to a list automatically, + and either loading the correct module, or letting the user know that + they need to install a different kernel/package for that module. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305112
