I've been using qc-usb for my logitech quickcam for a while now. v0.6.2 
works well. Just run the quickcam.sh script and off it goes.  the script 
uses xawtv to see if the driver works or not, but you don't have to have 
xawtv in the end.  If the compile works you can open up gnome meeting to 
see if you are getting an image or not.
