I picked up a "Logitech Quickcam Chat" recently at a very reasonable cost, and it works for me in kopete - not in aim, but I've tested it in yahoo chat, and it's said to work with msn chat as well.

I have a Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX which works well, great picture quality. Most Logitechs work well (but with notable exceptions).
The best website to check for the status of most webcams is http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html. This is the home of the spca driver which supports a lot, but also lists most other popular cams/drivers and provides links to each projects page. Another major driver is http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ for more recent cams.
Just remember that kopete (and all linux clients) only supports sending the webcam picture, not the sound. Skype currently only supports sound and not video, so a combination of the two gets a strange out of sync experience :-) OpenWengo supports video and sound via SIP, but not many people use SIP, and it's not in the openSuse repos either.
John.
