logitech quickcam recognized, module load, no /dev/video0 or similar

Hi! I've got a logtiech quickcam messenger with kernel 2.6.31-r3 running on Gentoo.

Code:
#lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 004: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger
and configured my kernel with:

Code:
Device Drivers --->
Multimedia devices --->
<*> Video For Linux
[ ] Enable Video For Linux API 1 (DEPRECATED)[*] Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer

-------------------------------

Device Drivers --->
Multimedia devices --->[*] Video capture adapters --->[*] Autoselect pertinent encoders/decoders and other helper chips[*] V4L USB devices --->
<*> USB Video Class (UVC)
<M> GSPCA based webcams  --->
<M>   STV06XX USB Camera Driver
I get the module load:
And with the

Code:
#lsmod

Have you checked out http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Webcam ? Gentoo wiki has gotten me through many a night....

Yeah, it is the documentation I used to begin configuring my camera. But it's a little bit old, and they say you need some applications for the logitech quickcam (qc-usb), and nowadays they are no longer in the gentoo repository cause they are supposed to be integrated with the new kernels.

qc-usb is the old deprecated v4l1 driver.
This camera/driver is a bit quirky. Have you tried replugging it?

Also,
this camera is quite power and bandwidth hungry. Try to remove any other usb peripherals connected to the same usb bus
