Logitech High-End webcams?

[Gilles Gravier]

QuickCam Express doesn't follow the "USB Video Class" API, it is an 
older camera. Either one of the old Logitech custom chipsets, or a 
Philips based chipset... both of which have been supported in Linux for 
some time. You are lucky. More modern webcams are a bit more tricky... 
but... at least, they are now more or less standard. Soon the USBVC 
driver should be part of Linux by default. :)
