Yup linux-uvc does the trick, but no Kopete support. Weird that the specific ricoh driver doesn't work though... Guess I'll try some future version.

Thanks for your help

Hello,

it seems the http://lsb.blogdns.net/ website to be no longer available.
How to get the driver? Is there an alternative place to get it?
It would be great if someone could upload it somewhere.

EDIT: Here's what we are looking for.
The ebuild is now updated.

Finally, some progress! I tried linux-uvc, and although I got the blue light beside the cam to turn on, and a /dev/video0 existed, luvcview gave me a green screen. Then after emerging xf86-video-v4l yesterday, the video worked nicely on skype. Today, however, the green screen is still partly showing on luvcview, and skype just gives me a black screen again. Weird.
