Hello,
I am running etch and I have a pleomax pwc-2100 webcam by Pixart
Imaging Inc. The pwc-2100 doesn't run out the box. After
googling a bit, I found that it needs the gspca module.

but still, skype and ekiga are not able to detect any webcam present...

I just installed camorama, and when I try to run it, the message "could
not connect to video device (/dev/video0)" appears... this goes in line
with your suggestion. Now the outputs you ask for are the following
(sorry for the initial garbage, but I posted it to be sure gspca is
loaded)

Hi Florian,
sorry for the delay in reply.
This might mean that this camera is not recognized/supported, at least
with the Etch's version of gspca. The best thing to look for are the USB
device and vendor IDs,
I will do this!
what do you get when you run "lsusb" with the
camera plugged in?
I get the following:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 093a:2600 Pixart Imaging, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Also, it might help to see all the syslog entries related to the camera.
You can run
tail -fn0 /var/log/syslog
then plug in the camera and wait at least 30 seconds. Post all the
messages that appear. (CTRL-C to exit)
Here they are:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo tail -fn0 /var/log/syslog
