I don't have gspca for my current kernel (2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686) and the gspca-source package didn't compile for it (there are Debian bugs filed for it).
My story with gspca and the above video card is filed as bugs with Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444314 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423920 As far as I could see, no action was taken with those bugs. So I am looking for people who experienced similar hang ups to help diagnose the problem. --- Omer P.S.: Hetz's suggestion to try with the "vesa" driver was nice, but when configured to use "vesa", the X server did not start.
