an old thing that does 340x280 which is enough to see thatthere is
indeed somebody but the quality is simply awful, so what webcam are
there that are easy to get working under debian with more appropriate
resolution and framerate?
when i searched with google for something usable, i was drowned in a sea
of mostly negative responses....

as a quick update i have just got a Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks
working with ekiga and luvcview. the beta of Skype is giving me some
video errors, but the built in microphone is working great. i am hoping
to get it fully working with Skype as i have time this weekend.
i also have a Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision, but in quick tests it was
detected and only the microphone was usable. again that will be a
project for a different day as i really want this camera to work.
oh, am running Debian laptop with 2.6.22 kernel and V4L2 drivers thus far.

Not quite what you asked, but there are drivers for over 230 webcams at Michel
Xhaard's site [1]. Look for green in the "Support" column on "list of recognised
cams" page [2].

The Philips SPC900NC/27 has glass lenses (not plastic), works at low
levels of illuminiation, and works with the popular PWC driver. About
US $80.
