Bruno,

Thanks for piecing this together.

By the context of the discussion, I am assuming that you are going down
the path of fixing the kernel module that is provided with ubuntu.  A
little digging shows that in my case it is located in
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko

The guides I've been following up til now ( including
http://i-nz.net/projects/linux-kernel/ ) act upon the linux-uvc source
from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/.  They then create a kernel module
that is installed in a different location,
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/media, if I recall.

Could you be kind enough to provide clear directions, starting with
isight.patch above and ending with a working kernel module.  No need to
repeat the directions on providing the isight firmware to the module (
unless you want to of course ).

Mostly I am unclear of what to apply the patch against, then the
compilation/install path.

Hopefully we can get this added soon so that patching is not required.
