    Problem with Logitech Quickcam for notebooks

    Hi, I have a Logitech webcam I've been trying to get going with linux.
    First I ran lsusb, here was my output:
    Code:
    Bus 004 Device 004: ID 046d:08dd Logitech, Inc. QuickCam for Notebooks
    After a bit of searching, I found how to install the appropriate driver.
    Then I installed:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gspca-source
    I then installed camorama and it crashed before loading, with an unspecified error.
    I then tried cheese. My webcam works but it's really blurry, the quality is brutal.
    Help is appreciated, thanks.
    Edit:
    Ran Cheese with terminal:
    Code:

    Edit:
    Camorama works if launched via:
    Code:
       LD_PRELOAD= /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama
    But still has the same blur and shoots out the same errors.

    I can't even download the driver. Where did you get the source file from?
