Comment 1 for bug 287888

I have the exact same problem on the uvcvideo integrated webcam in my Dell Inspiron 1420 after upgrading to intrepid release candidate. Following your instructions (by building the uvc from svn and overwriting the one that shipped with intrepid) I was able to fix this problem. I hope kernel devs/packages patch this before intrepid goes final or there are going to be a lot of unhappy folks with uvc webcams that don't work.
