It has been nearly a year since I purchased my home PC. It came from Dell with Micro$oft Vista installed. I hate windows, and hence installed openSuse 10.3. All good.... everything works.... except video calling. Skype Beta 2 for linux says it can do video calling, but hasn't worked til now.
To get it working:
1. lsusb to get the ID of the device.
2. Look up the device here
3. Look here for the required driver (and if it is supported)
4. (this is the bit that took me a year to work out) Add the opensuse webcam repo to the update repositories list
5. install the driver suggested above
6. unplug the webcam and plug it in again. check dmesg to ensure it was picked up
