More webcams: a Logitech Orbicam 046d:0896 on an Acer Aspire 9420 laptop does _not_ work with libv4l-0 0.5.7: Skype diplays a shapeless green-coloured picture (which does move as the objects in front of the camera move, so it's trying to do something, but not quite the right thing), and cheese fails to display a picture at all, printing this on stderr (in Spanglish, apparently):

 libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Error de entrada/salida

(Input/output error) and lots of lines like this one appear on dmesg:

 [ 1064.428587] gspca: frame overflow 616402 > 614400

Also, cheese does not let the user pick a resolution for the camera -- presumably it cannot detect the resolution properly?
