Keith, I have, I believe, the same camera. You need to install the SPCA driver for it -- this is not part of the mainline kernel. The following worked for me: wget http://drpixel.tuxfamily.org/fedora/drpixel-release-1-1.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh drpixel-release-1-1.noarch.rpm yum install --enablerepo=drpixel kmod-gspca in aMSN, if you use a NAT/router, you need to open ports 6890-6900 for the camera to work. I believe I also had to do this in the fedora firewall. Mike
I have read that the Logitech Quickcam Chat web cam works 'out of the box' with Linux. So I have bought one. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work in Linux, let alone 'out of the box'! It works extremely well with XP and Windows Live Messenger.
The camera active light is on, but no Linux programs appear to be able to find it. The camera is plugged into a USB socket on the back of the computer.

Please, what should I try next to get the webcam to work?
Any advice will be *very* gratefully received.
Many thanks
Keith
