I fiddled with a Quickcam 4000 for a long time under SuSE 9.3 but got
nowhere. If you get it working, please do share how you did it. From what I
remember, it required messing with the kernel and the person that maintained
the module was bitter at the kernel team or something. I think he was
discontinuing support for it too. Maybe I'm remembering that incorrectly,
but it was something like that. It could just be late as I type this too. :)
