Good. It wouldn't be fun if we had solved the problem in one go :-)

The interesting part is this:

uvcvideo: Failed to query (130) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : 2 (exp. 26)

It seems the webcam doesn't properly implement the GET_MIN and GET_MAX 
requests on VS_PROBE_CONTROL. Instead of returning 26 bytes, it just returns 
2 bytes.

I'll try to write a simple workaround. Having an Optia webcam would help. I 
wonder what those 2 bytes contain.

They still haven't answered. I'll try to phone them tomorrow.

Cheers,
