I can confirm this problem. I am trying to get a logitech webcam chat
working without success. Once I had modprobed spcaa5xx (that will be
another bug report btw) and the v4l2 and v4l1 compatibility modules (yet
another bug report I think) I still found no /dev/video or /dev/video0.

There is, however, a /sys/usb/drivers/spca5xx, which suggests that the
driver has properly recognised the camera.

I tried

# mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
# chmod /dev/video0 666

(as per http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_logitech_quickcam_on_2.6.x_kernel),
but still no luck.

The error message I get from camorama in all cases is "Could not connect
to video device (/dev/video0). Please check connection."
