I have the same problem: each time I start camorama it displays the following error message:

"Could not connect to video device /dev/video0. Please check connection.

I have solved the problem:

- download the drivers (http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download … 214.tar.gz)
- unzip it: tar -xzf gspcav1-20071214.tar.gz /tmp/.
- build and install it: sudo /tmp/gpscav1-20071214/gspca_build

Yours,
