Comment 158 for bug 290506

All right, so happy day. For me, enabling lool's ppa and installing the
updated libv4l AS WELL AS enabling the proposed repo and upgrading to the
-11 kernel has seemed to resolve the issue. Cheese works great for both
video and pictures at all the resolutions that I tried.
Thanks to all.
