Dell m1330 Webcam 64bit Arch

Been using arch for a while via virtual machines, recently decided to replace ubuntu on my laptop / desktop
with Arch.  Very pleased with it so far, I've pretty much got everything going on my laptop (Dell m1330) except for the webcam.
I'm using the 64bit version of Arch.  I found somewhere in the
forums that something called uvcvideo (linux-uvc) is included in the 2.6..26 kernel so I did a

sudo modeprobe uvcvideo

but, this didn't seem to make the webcam go with either cheese or skype.

So, does anyone know how to get this going in 64bit? (alternative drivers?)

Here's some info:

Re: Dell m1330 Webcam 64bit Arch

Installing gstreamer0.10-gconf, good, theora,and vorbis will probably solve the cheese problem, at least it did it for me.
But I still can't get my webcam do work =\
