Approach 2

Go to http://www.goldmann.de/webcam-linux_tipp_408.html and search for qc-usb-messenger at google because the link is stale

Approach 3

Use gqcam from

yast -i gqcam

result:

/dev/video: No such file or directory

=> very poor! It does not even give a recommendation what I should do.

modprobe gspca

=> now it works

Approach 4

yast -i uvcvideo
