no /dev/video on raspbian? #37

If I read the instructions correctly, the line:
"After loading the modules you should have a new "/dev/videoX" which you can use like a web cam."
means that following the structions should CREATE the /dev/videox link/file, correct?
I've followed everything up to here fine (besides commenting out the previous issue in the gspca.c file), and I have no /dev/video anything.
'make load' works up to the point of chowning the /dev/video* bit, because it doesn't exist (doing every line individually up to that point is fine)
Are there any other kernel modules that need to be set/modprobed to get this link? Or any other packages that need to be apt-gotten?

grep -i v4l2 /usr/src/linux/.config gives me:
'# Config_video_v4l2_subdev_api is not set
Config_Video_V4l2=m
Config_Video_AU0828_V4l2=y
Config_Video_EM28xx_V4l2=m
Config_Video_Platform_Drivers=y
'# Config_V4l_Mem2mem_Drivers is not set
'# Config_V4l_Test_Drivers is not set
Config_DVB_AU8522_V4l=m

(nb, # gives me huge fonts, hence the '# in the commented out bits)
