I use this cam with the GSPCA (gspcav1-20070508) and it works fine. I recently did some v4l3src fixes in gstreamer too.

Skip all the previous stuff, the permanent fix is here! Logitec QuickCam for Notebooks is based on spca5xx hardware and Michel Xhaard has added it to the driver. Just download the driver from

http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

and you should be good to go.
