Hey thanks,

Unfortunately, I'm not running Debian.  I'm working
off an old slackware box (under a deadline).  Besides,
there is no qc-usb-xxx package for Slackware.  I
suspect it includes some of the modules I already have
though.

I have managed to compiled the pwc and pwcx drivers. 
Unfortunately, they are no longer supported.  So I get
garbled green pixels ... likely due to the fact that I
can't load pwcx.o.  That module complains, as it's
compiled against a precompiled libpwcx.a ... which is
compiled with gcc v2 and my kernel is compiled with
v3, etc...

So I think my Quickcam 4000 pro will simply not work
with Linux. ;-(  I'll wait for someone to hopefully
suggest a suitable alternative.

Thanks,

DT
