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.
