And in order to install you must run the followind commands (just copied it from the gscpa_build scrit):

Code:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
sudo rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx.ko
sudo rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca.ko
sudo install -c -m 0644 gspca.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
sudo /sbin/depmod -ae
I have a VX-1000, too, and it worked, although the image is terrible. I hope you are luckier with yours. (tell us your experience!)
Erdtmann's module and codes work smoothless on my 701 surf. I am really suprised that you could find the right way in the maze of possibilities to install the gspca module. Even unraveling the code to understand what happens during the execution will still take some hours for the brains of this old newbee. The image which is produced is acceptable but rather colourless I am curious if this is to improve by using another webcam. All this workes also together with Skype.
Erdtmann, I thank you so much for your support.
