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.
Donn, I would say pick the one with the most webcams supported ( http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html supports 244 models) and build a yast module for it. would be a great start! I think I would buy a new webcam if I knew it was Yast supported, without even questioning it.
