    Seems there are many "QuickCam Express" cameras. I got one that claimed
to be, but I had to download and compile by hand some beta modules, that
worked very bad. Try 'tail -f /var/log/messages', see what vendor/product
numbers you get (it it is an USB camera) when you plug it and google a bit
to see if it is supported. My product number was 0x720 and it does not work.
