I just dusted off an old Logitech USB camera (a Quickcam?--it's not
labelled anywhere) that my cousin gave me a year ago and I never used. I
downloaded the qc-usb source, compiled and got it working on 2.4.21
within a few minutes (following the README, of course). Great work
Quickcam Express Project!
I'll expand the troubleshooting section on compiling stand-alone
drivers, though I hate to reinforce the notion that linux is an OS by
programmers _for_ programmers...
PS, in my logs on loading the camera:
