Tried my webcam in karmic - still no success!
The modules ("gspca-sunplus", "gspca-main" and "videodev") are loaded, but
still no /dev/video* device to make "cheese" and other apps working with my
webcam. In /var/log/messages nothing happens when I plug in the camera, so I
added the messages of "sudo udevadmin monitor":

The mass-storage-part of that device is - by the way - no more
recognized. I can't mount it. The good news about it is that I no longer
get an error message from nautilus on every start up... :) I got this
behaviour since intrepid. So, no change for me in jaunty and karmic.
Conclusion: Ubuntu recognizes the device correctly, all modules are
loaded - but there is no /dev/video. Is it possible to try a mknod by
hand? If yes, what are the correct options (major and minor numbers) to
do it? Maybe, it's the missing thing to do to get a working webcam...
O.k. - maybe not, but it's worth a try! :)
Greetings!
