Logitech Quickcam

[Gérard BIGOT]

Here's is what I  understand from those things :

spca is hardware specifique, and should be able to use your webcam. If not,
contact the maintainer and ask for help.

uvc is protocole level driver . A kind USB driver. The restriction is that
it knows only  V4L2, and most of the video apps undrstand only V4L. FOr UVC,
there's a test software here
http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Linux+UVC
look for application : luvcview

Hope it helps.
