Some time ago someone asked about support for USB cameras by Logitech.  You 
can go here: http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html and get the lastest 
driver.  It will be named spca5xx-yearmoday.tar.gz.  It is easy to build and 
install.  There is one line of code that needs to be commented out to have a 
clean compile.  At line 8351 in spca5xx.c, the line ".owner = THIS_MODULE, " 
needs to be commented out.  The kernel revision test for 2.6.16 does not 
work for our kernels.  Then do a "make install" as root and reboot the 
system.  You then can use CamStream to display the pictures.  The only 
problem I had was that I had to reboot the system to get the camera to be 
recognized.  Maybe this driver should be added to FC5.
