[Spca50x-devs] can't get spca50x working

[vwf <vwf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a brand-new Logitech QuickCam chat. When trying to get it running 
most seems to work, but I get no image. I want to use ekiga (gnomemeeting),
but even xawtv refuses to work. A read all info that comes with spca5xx
and http://www.linux.com/howtos/Webcam-HOWTO/, but with no effect.
What can I do?

Thanks,
Fulko
