Hi, please use luvcview or guvcview for testing. If you need root, then you should check you permission rights on /dev/video* or /dev/dri/card* . Check also FAQ on how to collect information for troubleshoting http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/faq/ Do the cam work stable if change video parameters on windows. Did you installed phillips driver on windows?
