According to the list, your webcam should be working with the latest version
of gspca: http://moinejf.free.fr/webcam.html (search by the ID)

Have you tried making and installing the latest gspca from source:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/ ?  I had a similar problem and that
was able to fix it for my webcam.  If you need further instructions, I'm
sure someone will be able to provide them or you can contact the gspca dev
from http://moinejf.free.fr/ (he was able to help me with a problem I was
having running "make" correctly).  Now my hope is just that these updates to
gspca get pulled into Jaunty...
