I recieved this webcam for christmas and I am having difficulties getting it detected on etch. I installed the spca5xx modules for my kernel (2.6.18-3 amd64).
No software can detect it and /dev/video + /dev/video0 do not exist. How can I add them / get the camera detected?

I guess you need to build your own kernel with the linux-uvc module: http://packages.debian.org/testing/grap ... uvc-source
But maybe I can find better info, so just have a little patience and I might solve it for you.

Are you sure that the uvc module is what I want?
I found this on the V4L Wiki (http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Webcams):

Thank you very much for helping me.Do you have USB 2.0 controllers on your notebook and desktop? If so, you could benefit from higher resolutions with the Logitech Quickam for Notebooks Pro, Quickcam Fusion and Quickcam Orbit MP. All those webcams are 1.3MP devices and are supported by the linux-uvc driver. Note that the Quickcam for Notebooks Deluxe doesn't fall in that category; it's supported by the spca5xx driver.
Maybe you have luck here: http://qce-ga.sourceforge.net/
Because they didn't say the Deluxe model was unsupported, only the normal and Pro models..

In case this is helpful:
When I plug in the device I have the following in dmesg:

Well thank you anyways for helping me.
I found this gem of a post at the ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205782
I had tried gspca from the gspca source package but it was out of date (version 1.04) I downloaded a new version from here: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investig ... .10.tar.gz
Compile and installed it and the usb module for the device was finally loading.
So the webcam works now!
