This is a bit of a shameless plug, but you can try bttv2
(http://bttv-v4l2.sourceforge.net). Then run vidpanel (one of the
applications available on http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2) - this will
allow you control of all the AGCs/filters/etc available on the 878 -
playing with them can usually give you good results.
