hi! i have a cheap webcam that used to work perfectly on arch, but some update broke it because /dev/video no longer exists (i don't know which upgrade, it has been some months since i used it last time)
when i try to run my webcam applications, it goes like that:
[nbcjr@universo ~]$ sonic-snap
Cannot identify '/dev/video0': 2, No such file or directory
[nbcjr@universo ~]$ sudo ls /dev/
adsp dvd hdb kmsg loop7 psaux ram2 snd ttyS2
audio fb hdb1 legacy mapper ptmx ram3 sound ttyS3
cd fb0 hdb2 log md pts ram4 stderr urandom
cdrom fd hdb3 loop md0 ram0 ram5 stdin vc
cdroms fd0 hdb4 loop0 mem ram1 ram6 stdout vcc
cdrw fd0h1200 hdb5 loop1 misc ram10 ram7 tts zero
console fd0u1440 hdc loop2 mixer ram11 ram8 tty
core fd0u360 ide loop3 null ram12 ram9 tty1
discs fd0u720 initctl loop4 nvidia0 ram13 random tty7
disk floppy input loop5 nvidiactl ram14 rd ttyS0
dsp full kmem loop6 port ram15 shm ttyS1
thanks!

That would have been the last kernal upgrade, wiped out my USB mouse which caused XWindows to crash, They had to change back to the UDEV system. I believe the maintainer for the devFS system quit but anyways it was taken out of the kernal.
What I had to do was to change the configuration from /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mouse0, i beileve you can also do ln -s /dev/input/mouse0 /dev/mouse. Try looking in /dev/input/ for your camera.
