VF0470 Live! Cam Notebook Creative

Let's install the Creative Live! Cam Notebook webcam in Debian/Lenny with kernel 2.6.22-3amd64.  Here you have the lsub command:
# lsusb -v
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 041e:4068 Creative Technology, Ltd
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 1.10
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0
bDeviceProtocol 0
bMaxPacketSize0 8
idVendor 0x041e Creative Technology, Ltd
idProduct 0x4068
bcdDevice 1.00
iManufacturer 1 Creative Labs
iProduct 2 VF0470 Live! Cam Notebook
iSerial 0
bNumConfigurations 1

It shows the product name and specific information about our webcam. Now, download the ov51x-jpeg driver from http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/ov51x-jpeg/ov51x-jpeg-1.5.6.tar.gz . Be sure you dont't have the ov511 driver loaded because it could start first on the boot sequence and make a mess.
# rmmod ov511
Then, delete its module from /lib/module/`uname -r`

Compilation and installation
You will need kernel headers and the videodev module builds with video4linux option (first as root, try modprobe videodev).  Extract files from ov51x-jpg-1.5.6.tar.gz you already downloaded:
$ tar -xzvf ov51x-jpeg-1.5.6.tar.gz

Next , as normal user, go to the folder ov51-jpeg-1.5.6 and make:
$ make

And, as root:
# make install
# modprobe ov51x-jpeg

Ready, connect your webcam and try with your favorite application.  For me, it works with Kopete and Amsn.  As additional information, the ov51x-jpeg comes pre-compilated in Debian but this webcam is not supported by that driver.
