Ok I tried media-video/linux-uvc, after I unmasked it, but it 's failing:

I am trying now to compile all the available drivers as modules, and
will see. In the mean while, I will look into, the driver link you sent.
I will share the results with the list. :)
Thank you.

I enabled V4L in the Kernel and enabled API 1.0.
Then I installed the driver as in :

Are you sure you have configured gspca properly?
Go to "Device Drivers > Multimedia Devices > Video Capture Adapters >
v4l usb devices > GSPCA Based Webcams" in the menu provided by "make
menuconfig" in /usr/src/linux and enable the relivent driver.
Unfortunately, after looking across which webcames are gspca-supported,
Ricoh doesn't show up a single time. So that may be just about useless.
The only drivers I could find are significantly behind in supported
kernel versions, but could be worth a shot: http://www.arakhne.org/ricoh/
In addition, there has been success using media-video/linux-uvc with
Ricoh webcams, so that could also be worth a shot. Regardless, good
luck, and do follow up if any of these ideas work.
