I have a similar problem with a Dell SP2208WFP webcam. Ekiga shows it fine, but Cheese gives me either the test images or a gray screen.

In dmesg I have:
[35531.804074] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Monitor Webcam (SP2208WFP) (05a9:2643)
[35532.808072] uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -110 (exp. 26).
[35532.830960] input: Monitor Webcam (SP2208WFP) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb8/8-2/8-2.1/8-2.1:1.0/input/input6

Is there a fix? Anything I can do to help?
