Ok, applied the patch manually. The original patch above does not apply cleanly as it is expecting to change the value at the end of line 74 in omnivision.c from a 0 to a 5, but the omnivision.c in git ends in a 1. So I changed the 1 to a 5. No video in 'skype' video test from the 'options' menu, same messages on the console. I'll send the dmesg output to the files section again, named as 6260- bayer-skype-dmesg-output.log Under mplayer the image now has more green and less pink shimmering halo around white objects.
