OK. I Manually downloaded the gspca-source module and did 'm-a
update' and when I went through the steps it seemed to build OK, but
did not load. Silly me! Once I unplugged the camera and re-plugged
it in, the driver loaded just like it ought to. At least is seems to
have done so. Running lsmod shows the gspca module and a few other
new modules. Dmesg shows:

So my drivers seem to be loaded. Now, how do I access the camera, so
that I can capture an image to be processed? I am currently thinking
of using opencv through either C/C++ or Python. How would I access
the camera to generate an image (probably jpeg) that I could then save
to disk or, preferably, pipe to opencv?
OK. I have a C program using opencv that opens a jpeg file , inverts it
and displays it. I had tried to modify it to grab a frame from the
camera, instead of a file, but it had not worked, hence, my last post.
Today I tried again and now it seems to be working just fine. I didn't
do anything different, but it is working now, so I am happy.
Thanks to everyone who helped me get the correct driver compiled and loaded.
