I'm using the kernel

lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX

/dev/video0 exists.

I can use the with cheese, but:

camorama says: "Error, unable to capture image"

vidcat -d /dev/video0 -o bild.jpg
does record a picture, but its mostly black with some lines random color pixels,

mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0:width=640:height=480
gives me a distorted picture, mostly red and green pixels,
