It should be.  Particularly on SuSE.  Also, SuSE has a Cameras section
listed in K Control Center under Peripherals.  Like the other sections
in Peripherals, Camera's lets you set up a camera for your desktop.
I've never had  it help me, because my MDC800 camera is no longer
liked by the gphoto libs (ever since the v2 rewrite).  But the module
seems simple and seems to work well.  Once that is set up, you should
be able to easily use gtkam or other camera app to reference the camera.

If all else is working, one of these methods should work, either the
SCSI storage device or through the KDE Cameras section.

I think I'd try a different box or possibly a bootable distro to see
if either helps.
