Raspberry Pie USB Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks

I gave it my best and almost made it. Tried for 3 evenings to get the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks to work with the Raspberry Pie.

Started with this distribution:
012-08-16-wheezy-raspbian.zip.torrent
Then got the camera connected to the Pi.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install motion
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
then edited motion's config file
sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf
change these lines to "off" in that file:
control_localhost off
webcam_localhost off
mkdir /tmp/motion
Start up motion program:
sudo motion -n
then looked at  http://1.1.1.1:8081 on the PC but the picture is very distorted.
By the way if you stop motion with Ctrl+C instead of Ctrl+X then you don’t have to find and kill the web-server all the time.
Good thing is that it seems to run without powered USB hub. Next camera…
