hi hari_kumarkp,

your webcam Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express with 046d:0928 device id is supported on linux using the gspca driver, there are two options
1- you can download the source and recompile on your system for better performance, you can issue these commands from the terminal to install the driver:

user@localhost# wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz
user@localhost# tar zxvf gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz
user@localhost# cd gspcav1-20071224
user@localhost# ./configure
user@localhost# make
user@localhost#make install

2- gspca is also integrated on new linux kernel version starting on 2.6.28, kernel upgrade is also an option

please goto the following link to download the drivers
http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/logitech-webcam-driver-quickcam.html

check the dm for enumeration, if the cam is present under imaging devices. uninstall all of the logitech software and plug camera in without the software. cam should come up generic USB device the try to preview in skype. if workinf reinstall sotware from the logitech websight.

Got to http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/
And you can get a driver for most Quick cams.

Mac OS 10.4 or Above

To use a Logitech camera on your Mac OS X computer, please purchase a Logitech camera that is UVC compliant, this camera will have basic functionality for use with a third party application but no additional features will be available such as (Rightlight, Rightsound or Video Effects)

All UVC Complaint Webcams listed in table below

This article applies to the following platforms:
Macintosh OS X 10.4.9 - 10.5.2

The Logitech webcams listed below are UVC (Universal Video Class) compliant and can be used with operating systems which fully support this standard; including Mac OS 10.4.9 and above.

Please note that standard UVC drivers are provided by the Operating System and will provide minimal camera support only. Unique Logitech features, such as RightLight and Video Effects are not functional via UVC drivers.

Furthermore, we recommend the use of a full Logitech installation package, where available, for supported operating systems such as Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Camera Name                                       P/N
