Topic: Using Quickcam 9K in Ubuntu

I am shooting a movie with a DSLR but I want a frame grabber without moving one of my two desktops to the animation location, I have an EEE with Xubuntu on it and I installed stop motion but when I turn on the capture device it just shows a green frame, is there some way to install the 9K, or have I got the settings messed up, if anyone has this sort of setup I would love to hear how you got it working.
