ok. this is what I get into GEM (pd extended, nightly one or two weeks 
ago, sorry for not being that precise...), ubuntu 9.04

one "clear" picture from cheese for comparison.


As I'm still on ubuntu 8.04 for work i tried to compile "MT gspca 
modified driver V0.5" for it, but this kernel seems to old for these 
modules.

so this is all from ubuntu jaunty 9.04:

modinfo:

when i start rendering i get these messages repeatedly (every frame?) in 
console output:

VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument
VIDIOCSYNC: Invalid argument
VIDIOCMCAPTURE1: Invalid argument
VIDIOCMCAPTURE2: Invalid argument

when changing dimen in pix_video:
error: x dimensions too great
error: y dimensions too great

see flickr images for differences when using RGB, grey, YUV

camera has been set to 640x480 before. I also tried different videomode 
settings at module load time, without difference for these errors.
