I use a Logitech QuickCam S7500, it has great image quality, and worked out of the box. The only thing I noted is that in aMSN I had to check "use a low resolution webcam" for it to show up properly in aMSN, which I think was due to the high resolution the camera works on. It works perfectly on Skype, Cheese, etc.
The aMSN thing was on 9.04 though - I haven't tried in 9.10 as I don't use aMSN myself anymore. It may not even need that now. The camera also has a good quality microphone built in. 2009/11/11 keith <ke...@keithg4jvx.force9.co.uk> > Hello. > > I want to wipe XP from my hard drive, but the only thing which is > preventing me is that I can't get my 6 year old Logitech Quickcam Chat > webcam to work very well in Ubuntu (9.04 or 9.10), with aMSN.
