It is a matter of kernel. Apparently the suse-one is different from
RH6. The v0.5.0 points to some standard kernel, maybe 2.2.15 which had
some problems. If that is the case either upgrade to 2.2.16, or use
the tarball at webcam.sourceforge.net. If that does not work drop me a
mail.

Greetings, Peter
