First I've to say sorry for my bad English. I hope everybody can understand ;-)

I have try to patch philips patch against the kernel.

What I've done:
apt-get install linux-source
cd /usr/src
sudo -s
tarf xvfj linux-source-2.6.27.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.27
patch -p1 < add-support-for-all-quickcam-messengers-of-the-same-family.patch
cp /boot/config-2.6.27-7-generic ./.config
make menuconfig //Load configfile .config and save
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-quickcam kernel_image kernel_headers

Compiling works fine after I disabled virtualization (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/287172), but when I try to install the kernel, dpkg return this error Massage:

--------------------------------
Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.27.2-linux-image-2.6.27-quickcam.postinst line 1181.
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von linux-image-2.6.27.2-linux-image-2.6.27-quickcam (--configure):
 Unterprozess post-installation script gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 linux-image-2.6.27.2-linux-image-2.6.27-quickcam
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
------------------------------------
I ignored the massage and installed linux-headers. After reboot /dev/video0 exist and the webcam workes fine with camorama.

Ekiga still wont work:

libv4l2: error getting capabilities: Invalid argument.
