I just got my Q-Tec Webcam 100 working on 64 Studio now, but not out of the
box, so here's my little how-to:
*Installing gspca-modules in 64 Studio . (short version)*
(Make sure) this package is installed:
gspca-modules-2.6.17-2-multimedia-486
version 01.00.04-2+2.6.17-9 (apt.64studio.com)
and this one too:
gspca-source
version 01.00.04-2 (stable)
To unpack the sourcefiles I did:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ sudo bunzip2 gspca-source.tar.bz2
cd into the new directory:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ cd modules/gspca/
Now prepare module-assistant:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/modules/gspca$ sudo m-a prepare
[skip]
a lot of messages came and 'cause all went well, it ended with
...
Done!
Now auto install gspca :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/modules/gspca$ sudo m-a a-i gspca
[skip]
again a lot of messages and 'cause all went well, again
...
Done!
The driver is now installed and the webcam works :-)

This package is installed now:
*gspca-modules-2.6.17-2-**multimedia-486*
version 01.00.04-2+2.6.17-9 (apt.64studio.com)
gspca modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.17-2-multimedia-486) This package
contains the set of loadable kernel modules for the
gspca video for linux (v4l) driver.
This package contains the compiled kernel modules for
2.6.17-2-multimedia-486
If you have compiled your own kernel, you will most likely need to build
your own gspca-modules. The gspca-source package has been provided for
use with the Debian's module-assistant or kernel-package utilities to
produce a version of gspca-module for your kernel.
This one's also installed:
*gspca-source*
version 01.00.04-2 (stable)
source for the gspca v4l kernel module
The gpsca video for linux (v4l) driver, provides support for
webcams and digital cameras based on the spca5xx range of chips
manufactured by SunPlus, Sonix, Z-star, Vimicro, Conexant, Etoms,
Mars-semi, Pixart and Transvision.
The gspca driver is a rewrite of the well known spca5xx v4l kernel
module from the same author, Michel Xhaard.
This package provides the source code for the gspca kernel modules.
Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules. For
basic install steps see /usr/share/doc/gspca-source/README.Debian.gz
http://mxhaard.free.fr/index.html
The */usr/share/doc/gspca-source/README.Debian.gz* doc contains the
following:
gspca for Debian
----------------
This package provides the gspca source code that can be used to build
modules that work with your custom built linux kernel. The source files are
located in /usr/src/gspca-source.tar.bz2; unpacking that file in /usr/src
will
produce a build tree in /usr/src/modules/gspca/ (The tar file can also be
unpacked elsewhere).
Building gspca kernel modules with module-assistant
===================================================
Please install the module-assistant package and issue the following commands
in a shell:-
$ m-a prepare
$ m-a a-i gspca
m-a is short for module-assistant, and a-i is short for auto-install. Please
see the module-assistant documentation for futher details about this
process.

To unpack the sourcefiles I do:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ sudo bunzip2 -v gspca-source.tar.bz2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ cd modules/gspca/
Now prepare module-assistant:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/modules/gspca$ sudo m-a prepare
