Hi,

I do no fully understand the problem; the man page stv06xx(4) installed
by the webcamd port says that the driver stv06xx webcamd driver for USB
cameras supports this cam:

VendorID:ProductID                  Device
...
046d:08f0                           Logitech QuickCam Messenger

Why do we need some additional driver from Linux?

Thanks

	matthias
