Both loaded fine but neither picked up the camera, which I assume means that it (they) is the wrong driver. The camera model is also not listed here [0]. Do you know for a fact that gspca works for this model? Will the source tarball from your link be any more effective? FWIW, I recently downloaded and installed the tarball and its definitely got support for more cameras. To make installing easy, I downloaded gspca-source from debian and unpacked it. Then I replaced copied over from the upstream tarball every file that matched the debian source. Finally, I used module-assistant to build and install it. this was easy, worked just fine and I see no issues. hth A
