Activating videodev module

I've been looking for documentation on how to do this, and have so far
come up blank. Any pointers to comprehensive documentation would be much
appreciated.

Here's what I'm working with:
Linux 2.2.1 kernel
c-qcam module installed
videodev module installed
parport modules installed and working

/etc/conf.modules
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options -k parport_pc io=0x378,0x278 irq=none,11

So... What options line can I add to conf.modules that will tell it that
it's video capture device should answer to char-major-81-0 and map to
c-qcam.o which should attach directly to parport1?

Also, since the kernel recognizes the color quickcam during plug-n-play
probing, is there a way I can have the appropriate modules primed
automatically?

I've been looking through the documentation for a couple of days, and the
answer to these questions just doesn't jump out at me off the screen.
