I tried to follow this tutorial to get a new video capture device working, but it didn't work, even worse, it also made the serp4 webcam I have stop working too. How would I go about putting it all back to where it was?( the old v4l setup)

EDIT:I already tried reinstalling the system76 driver.
EDIT2:I tried reinstalling the driver without any changes..aka..direct from source. No good either.
EDIT3:I tried reinstalling my kernel from synaptic, tried restore from system76 driver. None have fixed it. I also want to note that it seems, A, that the webcam onboard uses the same driver I was patching, B, /dev/video0 does not exist anymore. I think there is a problem now with the webcam not being detected as a usable item. It shows up in lsusb just fine though.

EDIT4: okay, the web camera came back once i reinstalled the ubuntu modules, but I can't get my other video capture device to load.(the one i followed the tutorial for)
