Logitech Webcam C300 works.

ID 046d:0805 Logitech, Inc.
Device Format: PAL B
Capture Palette: YUYV
Resolution: tested 640x480, 800x600, 1280x1024

In /etc/sysctl.conf I have set kernel.shmmax=1073741824. /tmp/zmdc.log says: 12/17/09 14:27:08.213739 zmdc[3234].INF [Server starting at 09/12/17 14:27:08] 12/17/09 14:27 ...

I have installed Zoneminder 1.24.1 on Ubuntu 9.10. I can't get Logitech Webcam C300 (it is UVC-camera) to work with it. Has anybody else gotten this camera to work?
