I’ve got a generic webcam that’s been working using the Gspca/Spca5xx driver for a while. It’s registers as 0c45:602c Microdia Clas Ohlson TWC-30XOP Webcam, but in 11.1 I can’t seem to get it to work.

seems to register the camera, but then there’s all the funky output afterwards that I usually don’t see. Now that the webcam drivers are merged into mainline kernel the install should be easier but I haven’t found any docs up that show what to do.
Also does it matter that I am running 64 bit version? When I run camerama or gqcam I get an error or no video (respectively).
