Aarrghhh... There was a mistake on the website (fixed now). The Quickcam for 
Notebook is not a UVC device, and thus not supported by the driver. Please 
don't hate me.

Unfortunately, not with the UVC driver.

The best Logitech buy today is the Quickcam Pro for Notebook, 2007 edition. It 
looks like this

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/3055&cl=us,en

That one should even have the hardware/firmware bug fixed (but I haven't got 
one yet, so I haven't been to test it).

Sorry again for the mistake.
