For Logitech I use, quite successfully, the gspcav1-20060925 package from: http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html Right there at the top of that page. --{ Logitech 3 0x046d 0x08c2 QC Orbit/sphere MP spca525a Yes mjpeg/yuyv linux-UVC }-- -is what is noted on that webpage's list of webcams, so you definitely want gspcav, the older spca is deprecated. There you have it! Mon Dieu!! I'm running the 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 kernel and had to "touch config.h" in: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/include/linux/ to make it compile. Once that was done, it made like a dream, using the "gspca_build" script included that compiled the module, installed and loaded it all in one swoop. It doesn't get any better than that. Then, crank up KDE kopete. Click on preferences and chose video. You should see your smiling face looking back atcha. If it looks like Hell, adjust the ring thing around the lens. It worked for me and I'm just this side of drooling when it comes to making a tarball do anything. I also wisely entered "exclude = kernel* in /etc/yum.conf to keep it that way!!! You can do eet Alain! <kisses both of Alain's cheeks and, with a smart heel click, salutes while shouting "Viva La France!" and "They are PROPERLY called French Fries!"> Ric
