Those four modules are all needed. videodev is for generic video input 
support, v4l1_compat is delivering Video4Linux version 1 (now 
deprecated) API to your driver, gspca_main is the common part of the 
GSPCA driver family and gspca_zc3xx is the actual driver for your 
specific webcam.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Lori
