That was also the reason why I grew my this webcam, you should (and is) to be run in the following environments:
Ubuntu 04.11 64-bit kernel 2.6.38
And one is amazed not bad Cam plugged via USB immediately recognized and the built-in microphone, which is controlled via USB is not a problem.
That you can not install the supplied CD under Linux (Windows, Mac), the quality brings no harm, on the contrary, all my "subjects" were more than convinced of the speech sound and picture quality.
All software that can access the webcam (even Skype) work correctly and it does not matter which environment runs (Gnome, KDE, XCFE, Fluxbox)
Thanks Logitech, for the good product
