OpenSUSE Hardware :: Quickcam E3500 - Colors Flicker Wildly In Separate Parts Of Image

I get a window that shows a broken image which shifts to the left in bits - top half, bottom quarter, etc. - and the colours flicker wildly in separate parts of the image. The shell from which it was launched gives this output: Any of the controls I try gives me errors, such as:

Set Auto Exposure on error
Set Auto Exposure on error
Set Auto Exposure on error
Set Auto Exposure on error

I closed this program and ran kopete, which showed me no image at all but gave this output on the shell: Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing. Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.
