Hi,
There are two versions of the Logitech QuickCam Express which use two
different sensors and as far as I know, only one of them is supported by the
alpha driver for Linux. I think that the Lego Cam (and your camera,
maybe)uses the other sensor... I'll check and keep this listed posted. I've
got the very first version of the driver to work on my laptop.
Greetings,
David
