I'll have to stop here and pick up later.

Maybe not done after all.
The binary package did not match my kernel version (uname -r) and I think that is why nothing worked even after installing it.
To compile a device driver, and load that into your kernel is somewhat of a challenge. I found a nice site about [http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/index.html compiling nVidia drivers for Debian] that walks you through the process. I also found that [http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/spca5xx-source downloading the source] and viewing the README was helpful because there is a lot of information in there. There is also the dev mailing list for the project http://lists.zerezo.com/spca50x-devs/
I think I'm going to have to save this for another day.
