The new GSPCA in the kernel mainline dropped support for this webcam and probably more since
inclusion:
ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam
There's a C-hardcoded "KConfig" #ifdef in the respective GSPCA chipset module which
passes handling of this cam to the legacy zc0301 driver but it cannot support it:

I can remember fixing this months before but did not submit the patch for some reason... nor can I find it
anymore up to this time.
It worked but the new gspca v4l2 main has dropped other useful things like the brightness/contrast/color
module parameters, so it was useless to me with applications not supporting v4l controls like
adobe flash + flashcoms video chat.
Takeback, e.g. v4l2ucp can be used to adjust picture settings :)
What is the status in 2.6.30 (or even better, current mainline i.e. 2.6.31-rcX)?
Status for ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam is FIXED.
Cheers,
