Comment 123 for bug 260918

ok... all this workarounds and install I've seen so far tells me that I would have to rebuilt the driver from source... which avoiding that is the reason I am using ubuntu (I used to have fedora)... I love when plug in and just works....

what surprises me, is that my webcam (genius eye 110) works fine in ubuntu 8.04, color correction a little wrong, but acceptable.... now since I've upgraded to 8.10 whenever I want to use it, I have to dual boot windows, or VM using virtualbox.

Is there gonna be a patch to solve this in the ubuntu repositories?
I am trying to avoid compiling at all costs... and my friends and I like how easy ubuntu is... compiling is not... The first thing I show new people about ubuntu is how everything just "works" out of the box...

Thank you.
