Web Cam Help : Logitech QuickCam Messenger

Does anyone here have a Logitech QuickCam Messenger WebCam? If you do, did you get it to work? When it finds the hardware, it makes it sound device but with the name 'Camera'. I searched google and i found a place where it said that this camera "cannot run on linux because there are no drivers" (or something like that...) I found that quite unlikely.

There's an experimental driver for Quickcam Messenger available here http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/ .
No idea if it works, though.

At this moment it's working on current 2.6.x kernels
