Microdia now works in Karmic, in my case its a Microdia NE78 chip and its detected fine. The problem is that image is just unusable, its too dark to start with, also the drivers don't enable the built in LEDs for low light use. Adjusting via v4l2ucp or xawtv results in overtly bright washed out image and the color cast is just bad period. Neither amount of adjustment gets you a fair image.

Ok good news support for sn9c20x webcams should be coming to the kernel soon. I have recently rewrote the out of tree microdia driver to use the kernel's gspca framework and this code is already in the main v4l-dvb repositories.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel.

[Bug 87054] Re: [Needs Packaging] Microdia SN9C201 webcam driver
Hi All, Just curious if anyone knows if there has been any effort to get this driver merged into the upstream kernel? The reason I ask is because it is a lot of extra effort for the kernel team to maintain out of tree patches/drivers. As such, they typically require upstream submission first before agreeing to maintain patches locally. Also note that we'll keep this report open against the actively developed kernel but against 2.6.20 this will be closed as it does not qualify for a Stable Release Update - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
