After searching on the net I downloaded the drivers - spca5xx - that has support for this chipset
When I try to compile the drivers (as root) on Fedora Core 5 I get the following errors
==========ERROR===================================================================
Building SPCA5XX driver for 2.5/2.6 kernel.
Remember: you must have read/write access to your kernel source tree.

===================================================================================
There is not much documentation with the drivers
I've followed the readme as in the source file
Is there any other configuration that I need to set before I compile the drivers?
Are there any other drivers that support vimicro USB Webcam for FC5
any pointer in this regard woudl be of great help
