System: Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04, 64 bit
Webcam: Genesys Logic Inc., 05e3:0503
Webcam driver: gspca_gl860ep.tgz

I installed gspca_gl860ep.tgz on my system and it worked fine witch cheese.

However, I encountered three problems:

1) Uppon reboot, the camera did not work anymore.
2) Pluging-in a second webcam did not produce a /dev/video1 in addition to the /dev/video0 used by the on-board Genesys webcam and thus the plugged-in camera did not work. On another computer, I can plug in the same second camera in addition to another one and both cameras can be accessed at the same time via /dev/video0 and /dev/vdeo1, respectively.
3) When attempting to use the Genesy camera together with qutecom, the latter crashes, see also Bug #236244 "Unsupported webcam".
