Hi,

the VF0330 camera works fine (I added the initial support for it).
The initial patch I submitted to launchpad allows the camera to work
with skype through a workaround. The workaround hasn't made it to the
Ubuntu package though as it is, well, a hack (see previous posts to know
more).
So, to summarise, you can simply apply the patch I initially sent on top
of the new ov51x-jpeg source until skype gets fixed.

Hope this helps,

JB
