zoomy,

Built uvc from source (trunk branch)

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk

cd trunk
make

Then run this command via terminal:

sudo install uvcvideo.ko -v -m644 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko &&
sudo make install &&
sudo cp -av /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko /lib/modules &&
sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)

I'm also running the latest kernel from intrepid-proposed (uname -r 2.6.27-8-generic). Not sure if that made a difference, but Cheese did not work until I rebuilt the uvc module from trunk and added it to the kernel.
