[opensuse-kde] webcam not working

My second issue, vaguely related to the first.

I'm running openSuSE 10.3 (going to wait for the next version after 11 to
update). Before installing a kernel update about a week ago via yast, my
Creative Live! Video IM webcam worked very well with the uvcvideo drivers.
After the update, nothing. I made sure that the drivers were updated in yast,
and they were, but uvcvideo refused to load. I went to the uvcvideo homepage
and downloaded the driver from SVN, compiled and installed it and tried that.
Still refused to load. Yesterday, I decided to check yast again and it told
me my version of the driver was wrong. Okay. Interesting since I got it
there in the first place. So I uninstalled the one I built and updated the
module again. This is when the problem mentioned in the previous post
happened, so I was unable to test it until I booted to the debug kernel. I
checked through kinfocenter and found that my webcam is listed. I checked
lsmod and found that all the correct modules - videodev, the ones for v4l,
uvcvideo, etc. - were loaded. But my webcam refuses to work. No device is
found.

Anyone got any tips?
