USB? I guess you have some of the newer QuickCams, so you
need Windows or MAC OS + the logitech drivers.

Sad, strange but true, Logitech thinks they can make more money with them
if they refuse to give away any information about them so that nobody can make 
drivers for other OSes. Someone(*) has made a binary-only linux driver for the
parallel port version of the VC&co., but it needed some changes to the linux
kernel wich were refused by the linux developement team for unknown reasons
so that it never was released. (Linux developement is more open, haha!)

(*) He has made an OS/2 driver under NDA with Logitech.

For more information see http://www.crynwr.com/qcpc/
and join the mailinglist there. If anybody ever releases a
solution for real OSes, you will read it there first.
