Did you do 'yum search uvc'?  I don't remember the off the top of my
head what packages you'll need but according to [1], it should support
your webcam:
046d:09b0 	Acer OrbiCam (Acer notebooks) 	Logitech 	

from [1] also:
Linux 2.6.26 and newer includes the Linux UVC driver natively. You
will not need to download the driver sources manually unless you want
to test a newer version or help with development.

the UVC 1.1.1 works for both my Logitech Quickcam STX, Orbit MP, and
Lenovo T420 integrated webcam.

HTH,
Tommy
