Here is the first update of the Quickcam Messenger driver from me.
(Thanks to Mathias Kuster who found a working init-string that
resulted into frames in bayes-format.)

I added support for auto-exposure, and the camera is almost useful
now. Hopefully some more people will be able to use it.
The driver is based on qc-usb-0.6.2, but I have removed the support
for all cameras except Quickcam Messenger in this source, since I
don't have any other cameras at home.

If you would like to find updates in the future, they will probably be
placed at this web-page:
http://home.mag.cx/messenger/

I have sucessfully tried some applications:
  gnomemeetings
  gspy (patched version works)
  xawtv -c /dev/video0
  ./show

How to compile and use....

make all
make show
make install

modprobe videodev
modprobe quickcam

You should now get something like this in your syslog file:

quickcam: QuickCam USB camera found (driver version QuickCam USB $Date: 2004/07/29 18:12:39 $)
quickcam: Sensor VV6450 detected
quickcam: Registered device: /dev/video0
usbcore: registered new driver quickcam
