I think there is a webcam module in YaST, or intention to make one. I searched the wiki and found this http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Research/YaST_Webcam_module. Ah, no, it does not exist yet. Still, search finds many hits: http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=webcam&fulltext.x=23&fulltext.y=11&fulltext=Search - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Try sudo lsusb, and look for the webcam in the output -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
