You'll want any of the ones listed on this page: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

I've got a Logitech Quickcam IM that works excellently with the drivers from that page. You'll probably then want tools like camstream to get it up and running. aMSN works with it quite well.

No Problem!

I have the QuickCam IM. Running an lsusb identifies the exact details:

Code:

ID 046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc.

as shown on http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html :

Logitech 211 0x046d 0x08d9 QuickCam IM/Connect Popeye zc030x Tas5130c Yes Jpeg spca5xx/LE gspca v4l1/v4l2

Mine is supported via the gspca module you can get from that web site.

Works well and is an easy setup and install. My camera does have a microphone and is picked up and detected however it can play around with an existing soundcard. you can sort it out by adjusting the priorities it's picked up in the sound configuration section.
