Moritz, I had all sorts of problems trying to download the source from the website last night but this morning it came down no problem.
Did a make, then a make install. Then a modprobe uvcvideo and everything came up fine. So I will store your depmod tip for later. The difference this time was that I took Paulo's advice and compiled/installed by downloading with hg rather than the tarball I tried to use yesterday. Is there a difference between the two? Also does hg(I normally use svn) have an update command or do I always download the lot? Ok, I am off to fire up aMSN to see if that works.
