Bruno,

Thanks for piecing this together.

By the context of the discussion, I am assuming that you are going down the path of fixing the kernel module that is provided with ubuntu. A little digging shows that in my case it is located in /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko

The guides I've been following up til now ( including http://i-nz.net/projects/linux-kernel/ ) act upon the linux-uvc source from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/. They then create a kernel module that is installed in a different location, /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/media, if I recall.

Could you be kind enough to provide clear directions, starting with isight.patch above and ending with a working kernel module. No need to repeat the directions on providing the isight firmware to the module ( unless you want to of course ).

Mostly I am unclear of what to apply the patch against, then the compilation/install path.

Hopefully we can get this added soon so that patching is not required.
