Almost all v4l2-applications can't work with sn9c20x driver directly (same for gspca included in 2.6.27 kernel, same for uvc). You need to install libv4l and use LD_PRELOAD hack. The thing is sn9c20x driver supports only bayer, sn9c20x-custom-yuv420 and jpeg output formats, and applications just know nothing about these formats... I'll repeat one more time: same situation for gspca and uvc drivers. Regards Vasily
