Hi, i'm attaching some logs that i hope could be useful.

The logs are:

1. dmesg output after
sudo rmmod uvcvideo
sudo modprobe uvcvideo trace=5

2. output from cheese started like:

GST_DEBUG=3 cheese

the output is from not working 1600x1200 , 320x240 resolutions and the working one 176x144

3. output from gstreamer-properties:

GST_DEBUG=3 gstreamer-properties

making the test with 1600x1200, please note that this works OK (i've got 1600x1200 video)

4. Output from ekiga.

GST_DEBUG=3 ekiga.

This last is the most surprising one for me. There was no output. So this leads me to think that ekiga is not using gstreamer? that would be the reason that ekiga is not being affected by the bug. If this is the case, this bug is all related to gstreamer, no matter which driver the webcam is.

How can we confirm this?
