From the above comment, it should be noted that the following gstreamer pipeline works just fine on laptops where cheese doesn't work:

  # gst-launch v4l2src name=video_source device=/dev/video0 ! capsfilter name=capsfilter 'caps=video/x-raw-rgb,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1;video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480,framerate=30/1' ! gconfvideosink

Note how "identity" was changed for "gconfvideosink", which doesn't quite reproduce the problem accurately.
