The pwc driver has been marked broken in current kernels (between 2.6.5 and 
2.6.6, and SuSE has several backports), an so the kernel shipping with 9.1 
does not have the pwc module (the webcams driver) included. After compiling 
my own kernel including this module, it works for me™.

So if you want your camera to work, install the kernel-source package, do 
"zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config; cd /usr/src/linux/; make 
xconfig"; select the webcam driver (somewhere in the usb section), and then 
"make modules_install".

Greetings,

Stefan
