In this post I will explain you how I got my Logitech Quickcam Messenger webcam working with Gentoo Linux using qc-usb-messenger drivers (module will be called quickcam).

Webcam information:

Manufacturer: Logitech
Part Number: 861144-0000
Model: Logicool V-UM27 Quickcam USB

# lsusb information:
ID 046d:08f0 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messenger

First of all we will prepare our kernel so our driver compiles neatly. I am currently using kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r2.
