I think I would buy a new webcam if I knew it was Yast supported, without even questioning it. JT - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] Webcam Drivers
The Drivers Wishlist[1] seems to have had quite a few requests for webcam drivers over time; would it be possible to get some of these in for 10.3? spca5xx for example is very popular, supports a plethora of webcams[2], is GPL'd, and is already built very well in the build service[3]. I've played with 5 different webcams over the days, and all of them worked perfectly with kopete and that driver. Any thoughts?
