In order to make Kopete detect your webcam you have to follow these steps:
1. Add the following lines to /etc/devfs.rules (Assuming that you belong to group 'operator'):
add path 'video0' mode 0660 group operator add path 'input/event0' mode 0660 group operator
2. Run hald and then run webcamd:
# hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes 22:34:46.735 [I] hald.c:673: hal 0.5.14 22:34:46.735 [I] hald.c:674: using child timeout 250s 22:34:46.735 [I] hald.c:683: Will daemonize 22:34:46.735 [I] hald.c:684: Becoming a daemon # webcamd -H
3. Open Kopete. Go to Settings -> Configure -> Video. You should see 'Device' and 'Input' combo boxes enabled and the preview window should now show you the preview from your webcam.
