As far as I can see you have the uvc driver installed and it recognizes the device correctly. I have the same video camera and it is working ok with my distribution (slackware11). there is one thing - this camera is actually a v4l2 device and I managed to get it going with kdetv package. it gives a very good resolution and speed. the camera has a built in microphone which is recognized as well - so absolutely no problem. it works with ekiga as well but you have to configure ekiga to use v4l2 driver and not v4l.
make sure you have: v4l2_common, v4l1_compat, videodev, compat_ioctl32, uvcvideo, snd_hwdep, snd_usb_lib, snd_usb_audio drivers loaded. you can check that with lsmod in the konsole. if you have udev daemon running then all the above drivers should be loaded automatically. also make sure you have /dev/v4l/video0 and /dev/video0 created after you plug in the camera .these two files would have root as owner and group "video". I had a ready made package for slackware11 (from http://www.linuxpackages.net/)so I just installed it (didn't have to compile that). If you dont't find a package for your distribution you'll have to compile it from source. But you shouldn't worry - everything that comes out of kde compiles nicely.
