Hi,
I'm running into the following problem:
With SuSE 9.2 it was possible to download the kernel module ov511 (one stable and one experimental version, 1.65 en 2.28 I think) and to compile it in order to use some webcams. As far as I understood this module is now maintained in the kernel tree. But with kernel 2.6.11 and later it won't work any more. Some people at www.linux-usb.org wrote that this module is not maintained any more. I've send some e-mails to the official maintainers, but no respons.

Will opensuse have an optimized kernel without known bugs of the standard kernel modules? Is there a chance that someone of this community will supply / write a patch?

I own a (USB) Phillips ToUCam, which needs support for compression (= a cheap one), works great up to SuSE 9.2
Of coarse I can go to a shop and buy another webcam.....

Fiete
