Got a USB PC camera which I would like to use with Skype. It was a cheapy and I found not very much on google about drivers to be used. The camera, 0c45:613e microdia cam, should work with the sn9c102
Just some info which might be of interest; The SN9C1xx driver in the kernel comes from http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/news/ The SN9Cxxx driver from the same place is proprietary and released only as binary-only time-limited trial version for Ubuntu.
There is a new open-source driver in the works, which aims to support all SN9Cxxx webcams. It already works very well for my SN9C201 microdia cam, and the project is very active.

Dear Sylvester, That was indeed very helpful. As a matter of fact I am already since months looking for the camera software and this list gave me some more useful information. What I need is the sn9c120 which I found out is found in the new sn9c1xx-1.48. Downloaded the tar.gz and will have look how to get it into the kernel. How could I find out which version is included in the kernel version I am using? 2.6.22.17.01-default. Is there a kernel in the suse community with the updated sn9c1xx part included? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
