Hi,

probably the same bug here: #462679, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462679

I have the same problem, but other kernel modules loaded.

Comment 5 Brandon Philips 2009-08-10 21:59:54 UTC
Please install libv4l from here and follow these instructions: 
 http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/drivers:webcam/openSUSE_11.1/libv4l.ymp

11.1 Users
==========
Users affected by this bug in 11.1 are encouraged to install libv4l and either
run their applications like this:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so kopete
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype     # 32-bit applications

Slightly less recommended is to add the following to /etc/ld.so.preload:
 /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so


If this does not work please reopen the bug. Closing as a duplicate of Bug #501959.
