I've tried camorama, cheese, guvcview and loading cameras through
websites like tumblr and facebook. They recognise that a new device is
there but I get no video output

I've just tried luvcview with "luvcview -d /dev/video2" and got this error:

SDL information:
  Video driver: x11
  A window manager is available
Device information:
  Device path:  /dev/video2
Stream settings:
  Frame format: MJPG
Unable to set format: Input/output error
 Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
