I have the Logitech QuickCam Express working on a combination of Debian
stable (woody), testing, and unstable with a custom kernel.  I think I'm
using this driver:

but I'm not 100% sure cuz it's on my notebook and I'm working on my desktop
right now.  I can check if necessary.  I've tested it with xawtv and
gnophone.  Picture quality isn't great but I think that's a function of the
cheap hardware rather than the Linux support.

HTH,
