Hello,

it took me a while to find a way to set tilt/pan on a webcam, but finally I 
found luvcview offers that options :)

Result:
Image does not change at all.

console output:
ioctl querycontrol error: Invalid argument
Set Pan up error

ioctl querycontrol error: Invalid argument
Set Pan down error

Same output for tilt and gain.

Setting brightnes, contrast, saturation, sharpness, gamma, exposure and white 
balance works

The Windows BisonCam application doesn't show fps, so I opened the cam with VLC 
Player and that reported 15 fps at 1280x1024 what might be correct as the video 
runs smooth. Other resolutions run at 30 fps on windows.

The cam is integrated, but can be dis-/enabled by pressing Fn+F10.
So I did
- one USB trace while 'hotplugging' the cam and
- one trace when the cam already was connected and I started the BisonCam 
application; I snipped the isochronous traces

camera hotplug trace: http://www.loaditup.de/files/511048.txt

start camera application trace: http://www.loaditup.de/511049.html

I hope that helps for further investigation, please reply if you need anything 
else...
