xeperno,

The Logitech quickcam 3000/4000 uses a Phillips chipset.
The kernel driver module is under USB Support, USB Phillips Cameras. To get the best resolutions you will need the pwcx.o binary module too.

You will also need to enable Video For Linux in the kernel.

This is a good site to check http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ if its up
