I already bought two webcam so far: the first one with just the video section and the second one with both audio and video.
The first one was not working at all on Linux (this is not a uvcvideo class but a sn9c20 family web-cam).
The second one works only on video.
Now, before spending more money to buy a new product, I'll wait a while, to see if something happens.
Waiting for.... ??
The *moral* here is, investigate the availability/work-a-bility in linux for the device before purchasing. You wouldn't purchase a metric bolt for an sae nut...
Waiting for a new kernel, HAL, udev, ... Or something else, which manages such device, without the need to have to purchase a brand new. I think to have investigated enough, searching on HW compatibility lists and also attempted several workaround suggestions for the specific issue, without any success. Last but not least: I've not yet found a Computer shop which accepts you try the peripheral before purchasing... If you know such one here in Brazil, please let me know ;-) Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
