Herr, hard to help you without more information... anyway, some things to look at:
Is you're kernel compiled with the V4L2 drivers?
Maybe the application you want to use (servfox?) need the old V4L api, so you need to compile the kernel with this compatibility layer too...
Maybe the application doesn't compile on the arch you're using?
Maybe the application need some extra libraries to work (ldd is your friend)...

My kernel is 2.6.28.2, and i have enable the old v4l api compatibility layer, i also try to use servfox or the webcam_server, however the drivers of the gspca camera are written in v4l2, that result errors in servfox or the webcam_server.

i'm wondering if there are any v4l2 software or utilities that allow me to take a picture or more..like video or somebody has already modify the v4l1 drivers so that work in new linux kernel...anyway thanks

ps. my webcam chip is zc0302.
