Logitech QuickCam Express

[Allen Wayne Best <debian@atoka-software.com>]

hello:

has anyone used the quickcam express successfully?

i have loaded and built kernel 2.4.12 with all the relevant usb options 
selected, built usbutils, and build qce-ga-0.40b. a snippet from lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0870 Logitech Inc.
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               1.10
  bDeviceClass          255 Vendor Specific Class
  bDeviceSubClass       255 Vendor Specific Subclass

  idVendor           0x046d Logitech Inc.
  idProduct          0x0870
  bcdDevice            1.00
  iManufacturer           0
  iProduct                1 Camera
  iSerial                 0
  bNumConfigurations      1

i insmod'd the driver in qce, mod_quickcam.o, and did a "mknod /dev/quick c 
180 80". then i ran quickcam which put out this information:

Camera ID 0870
HDCS1000-sensor ident: 8
This Quickcam has a HDCS1000 sensor!
Sharing memory.
Init HDCS1000 sensor
SHUTTER 128
START
------ Found Sync 00 00 02, sum 0

*but*, the quickcam box is quite black. ack!

any suggestions and/or ideas would be great....
