It's not "Ric's webcam" it's a Logitech Quickcam that is the issue, get that? I use the gspcav file straight from the website and re-build it every time I upgrade the kernel (which takes about 2 minutes). Back when I didn't have any luck with the 3rd party repo issued rpm. I've reported this to others with the same model and they reported success back. I'm 58, started computering in 1978, probably before you were born, started three user groups, co-founded T.A.G.and worked at Redhat in 1999-2000 in install tech support, back in the days of the $39 box sets for the average joe. Just check out my linux user number, probably a heckuva lot lower than yours. Currently I do IT stuff for a Non-Profit and we're working on a 3D package to reduce recidivism in our Prison Systems. That's the world I live in. I gave the OP the straight dope on what worked for me, and others. He can pick it up or not, his choice ... I'm not in charge of that. Here's a link http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html There are a couple reported to be difficult. The newer gspcav code seems to fix a lot of them. So, I advise trying it first. Again, everyone else that I know that has tried it has reported success. The OP is getting free advice here.
