The 0c45:62c0 webcam uses a different chipset. The Linux UVC driver doesn't support SN9C20x-based devices. > I have installed the the uvcvideo-kmp-default version r117_2.6.22.5_31-2 > from the openSUSE repositories, is there some newer version or some > patch to make the webcam work.

If you mean the driver provided at http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/news/, I would stay away from it. Luca Risolia, the author, is known to write binary-only kernel modules that work with his own commercial closed-source application only. He doesn't play along with the Linux kernel open-source rule, and most people tend to ignore him. You should instead contact Michel Xhaard (http://mxhaard.free.fr/) who said he would work on SN9C20x support for his gspca driver.
