A bit more information about the exposure time, i have tested on high 
light condition for both linux and xp, and i have the same result, 
both give grey images from the begining, good whole `grey` images.
tested with 640x480

Depending on the size of the image (small), the bottom most part of 
the image is corrupt on linux (not the foxboard). About 5%

This test were made on XP, Fedora 7 64 bits, foxboard k2.4 SDK 2.01
