Web Cams for Linux?

I'm having a wierd problem with the logitech webcam pro 4000.

Basically it's the same, when i kickoff xawtv it recognizes the webcam and starts to get video data from it, problem is that the picutre that's displayed is green and squished. Any ideas?

Here's a pic of what i'm seeing:

I have a Creative Webcam Pro (just got it 3 months ago) and it works fine through Camorama. Actually better than fine usually, the quality is better than it was w/the cam center that was on the install cd.

actually i've gotten camserve to work quite well. I needed the pwcx decompressor module. Altho now with kernel 2.6 the module no longer works, i'll keep going at 120x180 until a new module comes out.

Is there anybody who has some experience with WebCam NX pro from Creative? I bought it a week ago and using it under Windows XP, but like to move to Linux because I want to minimize use of MS...

I have RH 9.0 and it didn't recognize it during the boot and I don't know what to do next.

I would appreciate any help here.

Thanks in advance.
