Hi there again,
I got the camera set up and working. The Logitech Quickcam drivers come with
the kernel sources these days (version 2.6.19.2 works for me) So that is
cleared up I can now record endlessly with ffmpeg :).
Anyway the FFmpeg perl module is bugging me :( so I figured to go for the
V4l solution.
I also get the "[codec/RTjpeg] Error1" thing, I cannot find the patch on
google... So if you would be so kind to mail it to me I would be gratefull.
By the way I am running perl from a linux from scratch installation (
www.linuxfromscratch.org) It is a great way to learn stuff.
And yes it's handy to have Suse or whatever installed next to it :)

There is alot that can go wrong with video, there are PAL, NTSC
selection, etc. Maybe you are not loading the right module
for the camera? Or the module needs something else preloaded?
It sounds like you might have a system problem. If you have a few
extra gigs of disk space, maybe try installing a newer distro that
sets things up automatically, like SuSE.
When I was learning, I always had a second boot to SuSE, so I could
get their various configuration files, which they usually auto-detect
and setup correctly.
OpenSuSE can be downloaded for free.
