Is the complete driver, not the patch...

ok, I'll see... now I've not attached the cammera (It's being probed in
the win2K of my sister...)

I use the Mandrake kernel line, that is heavily based in AC branch, so I
think this is not the problem

Uhm... poor quality? I think it must be better than Dexxa's one, no? In
Spain, Dexxa's price is around 33 Euro (29 $USA), and Logitech one maybe
around 45 Euro (40 $USA)... In specifications I've seen than Quickcam gets
640x480, but using software interpolation no? And I wonder this is not
available with Linux driver... I'm right?
