Hi The ready made binary module from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ does not load, even with the -f (force) option for insmod. And when I try compile the pwc.o module, I get an error about missing include file, that can't be found anywhere... (pwc-dec.h) This is starting to get ridiculous.... Jaska.

So, how to install that camera so, that I could use some SW to get pictures/video out of it under SuSE 8.0 ??
I have the QuickCam 3000 Pro. I am not sure how it compares to 4000. However, I can tell you 3000 uses the pwc module. I did not have to download or compile it. Just modprobe pwc. You will probably have a very small picture. If the picture is too small, you need the pwcx module. This one did not seem to be on my system, so I downloaded it. You will have to insmod -f, and it will give you a warning about contaminating the kernel, but it works fine.
As far as software, camstream works great for me.

The "Apartment Cam" is the Logitech Quickcam 3000 Pro running on SuSE 8.0 and camstream. Camstream is also running the "Media Cam."
Much helpful information is found here:

Don't worry that it says Philips, because the Philips uses the same driver, at least in the case of the Logitech 3000 Pro.
