I've just tried to create /dev/video* by hand.
Certainly, seems I tried to do something stupid, but you know...the faith :-)

sudo mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
sudo mknod /dev/video1 c 81 1
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/video0
sudo ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/vide

Then I see those nodes:

mloskot at dog:~$ ls -l /dev/video*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    11 2005-09-25 02:22 /dev/video -> /dev/video0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 81, 0 2005-09-25 02:21 /dev/video0
crw-r--r--  1 root root 81, 1 2005-09-25 02:21 /dev/video1

but no cam client works. I get the same error message:

mloskot at dog:~$ webcam
reading config file: /home/mloskot/.webcamrc
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device
