Thanks. I downloaded the source for the kernel I'm running,
applied the patch (it applied cleanly), so I built it and
insmodded it, and ran motion -- this message

   motion: [1] VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP not supported but it should
   be (does your webcam driver support this ioctl?)

no longer appears, but I still get

   motion: [1] Video device fatal error - Closing video
   device

That might be bug in motion, but I'm not sure what else to
use to test it. mplayer with -tv mjpeg says (inter alia)

Selected driver: v4l2
 name: Video 4 Linux 2 input
 author: Martin Olschewski <[email protected]>
 comment: first try, more to come ;-)
v4l2: video fd: /dev/video0: 3
v4l2: your device driver does not support VIDIOC_G_STD ioctl, VIDIOC_G_PARM was 
used instead.
Selected device: Live! Cam Optia
 Capabilites:  video capture  streaming
 supported norms:
 inputs: 0 = Camera 1;
 Current input: 0
 Format MJPEG  ( 0 bits, MJPEG): Unknown 0x47504a4d
 Format YUYV   (16 bits, YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV)): Packed YUY2
 Current format: YUYV
v4l2: set format: YVU420
v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: set format: YUV420
v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: set format: UYVY
v4l2: ioctl set format failed: Invalid argument
v4l2: set format: YUYV
v4l2: set input: 0

which doesn't look right -- it doesn't say "set format:
MJPEG". xawtv just gives me a black window on my vncsession.
luvcview and mjpeg-streamer work in MJPEG mode, but they did
before the patch, so that's no test either.

What would be the right way to test this?

Kernel is 2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.x86_64
