If you need new gspca drivers is a good idea update your v4l2 installation and modules. hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb v4l/ cd v4l/ make make install modprobe gspca_spca505 (this module support your webcam) If it's doesn't working, on updates-testing repository kernel 2.6.29 is available and probably workd with your hardware... Please test and report.
Thanks filipe and sorry for my late response i try update v4l module as you suggested. and my webcam work :) in which kernel this module is ready out of the box, 2.6.29 ?
I don't remeber correctly. 2.6.29, 2.6.30 or 2.6.31 :)
2.6.31 is in rawhide, so this definitely is fixed in rawhide, closing.
