I can confirm the behaviour described by Rafal Zawadzki. Some more information from my side:

System: Dell Inspiron 1525 (one of their Ubuntu Linux Notebooks)

Installation: Kubuntu Jaunty with all current updates (no backports or proposed)

Skype
====
Camera is now recognized but shows merly green/black noise (see attachment; this happens after clicking on the 'test' button ). However the picture is not constant (framerate would be quite normal I think, around 30fps?). Often Skype just crashes after clcking on 'test'.

Kopete
=====
Camera is now recognized but shows only a black square (see attachment). Reading the kopete logs it looks like the camera is reporting that it can hardly produce any valid output-image formats, or does a kopete log always look like this?

/dev/video0
============
"cat /dev/video0" reveals that the camera is acutally producing output

Cheese
======
Camera actually WORKS here. Quality is unusuable with 640x480 but works OK with 320x240 (although worse than under Windows). However I cannot make any photos with cheese (it basically does not produce any file) nor any movies (when I click on record the video area shows only a black area and when I click on stop, cheese crashes)
