I have the same Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000. It is a Phillips Chip set. There 
is support built into the kernel. It uses model PWC. In a lot of Distros., 
you will run into some problems., some times the cams mic will be initialised 
before the sound system and it becomes the only thing sound related in your 
sound config, other times module pwc is not loaded, or the kernel module is 
not properly configured and applications like Gnome meeting will not work 
till it is sorted out. Given that most of the web cam drivers are reverse 
engineered you just have to work at it, but the Quickcam Pro 4000 will work 
well once the problems in your distro are corrected. It is a good cam.
