First you need to figure out exactly what kind of webcam you have. That 
means brand name, model # etc. A good way to do this is use the command 
lspci in the terminal. This will output information on all of the 
hardware hooked up to your computer. Look for the brand name of your 
webcam and you should be able to figure out the model number. You can 
then do a search on google for that exact webcam and SUSE. There will 
probably be a how-to somewhere out there.
