You're barking up the wrong tree here. This isn't your webcam; this is your graphics card. In other words, that's your video-out device, not your video-in device. Try the following page http://wiki.debian.org/Webcam. In particular, note the parts that say "If you're using a stock kernel, everything should be okay" and "EasyCam is a utility to automate webcam installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam";. Hope that points you in the right direction.
