I did try the camera with the new driver and I experienced a dirty green 
screen of output. My apologies for not mentioning this in my initial report.

What is the correct way to report bugs with the gscpa modules in the 
2.6.27-rc* kernels (I'm using the kernel source from 
kernel-archive.buildserver.net and adding gspca support to the .config 
options that I sourced from the linux-image-2.6.27-rc* packages from 
kernel-archive.buildserver.net)?

Arthur.
