You need to compile the driver of the other webcam together with gspca_gl860. In the file config32 or config64, add the suitable line. Look at "/boot/config-2.6.xxxxxxx" and peek the line(s) corresponding to what you need. While insterting the line(s) in configXX, AFAIK you need to respect the order of appearance in the "/boot/config..." (E.g. if it is between CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y" and "CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=m", insert it between "CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y" and "CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=m" in configXX).

Sorry for these troubles. I'm not using other webcam or video device so that I don't warn about it.
The gspca_gl860 driver should compiled with the GSPCA in 9.10, so only the compilation and installation of gl860 may be required and no problem about videodev.
