modprobe blacklist help desperately needed.

[Eric S. Johansson]

acer 8204 laptop.  webcam is a SPOS and I need to blacklist it in order to run 
it.  I fixed the problem on 8.04 by blacklisting gspca.  I upgraded to 8.10 from 
8.04 and, as to be expected, the webcam failed in it's usual way but this time 
the blacklisting failed to fix the problem.
