    MS VX-3000 webcam SuSE 11.2

    I have installed the gspca2 driver for my webcam, but in kopete, I still get only a wierd multi colored/scrambled thick line across the top of the webcam screen and the rest remains blank. This is in Kopete.

    In Kopete, under video, under device, under input, it shows "sonixj" and the device is "USB camera". I don't know if that helps...

    I know the webcam works in Win7/Vista/XP, but I am trying to get away from using those OSs.

    I had tried the 1 click SuSE install of the gspca2 driver but it wouldn't complete the install. Doing it in YaST directly seemed to work but I still get the same bad screen when using the webcam, which has it's LED light up.

    You really expect a Microsoft camera to work in Linux???

    I have heard that Logitec cams work well.
