Logs attached as requested (with no webcam module loaded).

Then with:

$ sudo modprobe stkwebcam

tail of dmesg:

[ 539.088995] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 539.109178] usbcore: registered new interface driver stkwebcam

$ lsmod | grep stk
stkwebcam 33668 0

videodev 46720 2 stkwebcam,compat_ioctl32
usbcore 175376 5 stkwebcam,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

Now if I try to start camorama:

$ camorama -D
VIDIOCGCAP -- could not get camera capabilities, exiting.....

Cheese doesn't get any video (No camera found). Ekiga also desn't get
any video (no device found with plugin V4L). Skype also can't use the
camera.

If I then unload the stkwebcam and load ver. 1.4 of the stk11xx, that
I have compiled from the sources at
http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net :

$ sudo rmmod stkwebcam
$ sudo insmod ./stk11xx.ko

dmesg output:

With this module, camorama has video from the webcam. Ekiga also works
with the stk11xx module. So this is an improvement over the stkwebcam
module :)

But not all is good :( Cheece is not working again (No camera found)
and Skype detects the webcam, but when testing the webcam
functionality from the app settings, I only get a black screen.

I would be very interested if anyone else had better luck..
