I still don't see a /dev/video but this appears to be a step forward
anyway.
It is. Once your webcam is recognised the v4l packages will create video0. I
do wonder, though, whether you are trying to load the correct driver. I say
this because it's far from unknown for a model to change chipset part way
through its life. Have you tried a fair bit of googling, to see if others
are using the gspcav driver and/or another one?

Sane finds it:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x046d, product=0x0870 [Camera]) at libusb:002:004
as does lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c408 Logitech, Inc. Marble Mouse (4-button)
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
It appears to be the most common Logitech camera available in Walmart, etc.
When I've investigated in the past it always seems to come back to the
gspcav driver?
It will work on this computer if I boot XP, something that never happens but I know the hardware works. It's mostly an annoyance, I have it and it should work. I keep thinking well maybe with the next version of Fedora but it hasn't happened.
I believe this is the camera and if I understand this list he says this is the driver?
Do I have to also install spca561a? This stuff is not very clear.
