The drivers needed by the eyetoy can be found along with the rest of drivers for omni vision chipsets in http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511.
If you want to compile the eyetoy's driver under rh9 you have to change one line in ov51x.c that is specified in the faq section in the website.
When i compiled the drivers i noticed that my product id didn't where listed in the drivers for the eyetoy but it was easy to add at it.
After that the driver worked.
But there was an issue, none of the existing apps like xawtv or vidcad support webcams with the ov519 chipset. You only can take photos with an utility included in the drivers called getjpeg. This is why i didn't scored it higher.
