Comment 40 for bug 190450

I solved the problem!

for Intrepid you must use ov51x-jpeg-1.5.9 not 1.5.8, after that you'll have to remove ov511

sudo rm -r /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/ubuntu/misc/media/ov511

now you'll be able to compile ov51x-jpeg.... but you are not finished, yet...
Intrepid uses by default gspca_ov519 as module for this kind of webcam, so you'll have to remove it

rmmod gspca_ov519

and then... finally

modprobe ov51x-jpeg (for skype .... modprobe ov51x-jpeg forceblock=1)

good luck :D
