Y'all know, I've been so sick of not being able to use my QuickCam, that I finally found the driver (and info on how to use it) http://www.crynwr.com/qcpc/ Now, I can use my nasty little LogiTech QuickCam Color with XawTV to either record vids or take snaps. EZ as pie to configure, compile and install. HA! I've been waiting for two years to do that... This just goes t'show ya - don't give up. Keep trying. Someone out there's got the same cam you do, and WILL make a driver or proggie to read it...
