Unfortunately I can't offer any comparison to how well it works, as I haven't used any other webcam, nor used this one on OSes supported by Logitech's drivers.

The modules listed are vicam, usbvideo, videodev,& usbcore.The module for the DSB C-100 is OV511. Both webcams are discontinued though you should be able to find them on ebay.

Semi-new to linux, couple questions...
Hello everyone, After tying a few distroes i've settled on debian. I have a couple questions: firstly can anyone recommend a good webcam that has drivers available for linux? Also I just upgraded my kernel to 2.6.0 and gnome to 2.2, when playing mp3's in xmms they sound like crap, but if i play them with totem they sound just fine, any ideas (SiS sound card set up as an ALSA device, with OSS emulation)?
