George;
Loading pwcx did the trick. I never considered using it because the
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/release.html#pwcx
web page where I downloaded from said it was optional. I guess that's
not true with the Logitech 4000.
I did have to force the load since it was built on a different patched
2.4 kernel but it appears to work fine.
My goal was to use GnomeMeeting as a NetMeeting substitute but
GnomeMeeting may not be there yet. Do you know if the following is
supposed to work because I can't seem to get these working.
* Text chat with NetMeeting?
* Reception of a NetMeeting exported DeskTop?
Thanks again and if you see me in the ils server, give me a shout.

I should have in included this in my last email. The best way to run
pwxc is from you modules.conf file. I run Red Hat,
I assume your system has a /etc/modules.conf file also.
# Quickcam 4000 Drivers
post-install pwc /sbin/insmod --force /lib/modules/<kernel
version>/kernel/drivers/usb/pwcx-2.4.20.o >/dev/null 2>&1

The above will probably word wrap if your mailer isn't at full screen.
Also put your actual kernel version where pwcx is
loaded where it says <kernel version>.
This will load the pwcx module automatically after the pwc module is
loaded and pass some parameters to pwc.

You won't get 30fps on linux. The camera actually runs at 10fps. In
windows, the "extra" fps is done in software. But 10fps is more then
enough for video conferencing. Most likely unless your on a lan you
won't come near 10fps.
It should solve your palette problem (I've never run my 4000 without
pwcx) and it will allow you to run the camera in cif mode (large video)
in GM.
