[opensuse-factory] Webcam Drivers
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?

Hey guys, Would it be possible to create a "not" list for the "recent applications" section of the menu generated by what's already in the "favorite applications" group? This way the menu wouldn't grow when we use our "favorites", a simple "if this is already in "favorite" group then do not place in "recent" group else place in recent group after use" subroutine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

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. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?

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.
