Camorama is right. It uses the V4L1 API (which is basically
deprecated), and linux-uvc only provides the V4L2 API. I guess you
should use a different app, such as wxCam. (I like camorama too,
though.) BUT: There is a nice new library by Hans de Goede called
libv4l. It provides a layer between V4L1 and V4L2. I have a patch for
camorama to use this library, and have managed to make camorama work
with linux-uvc. Screenshots and patch are available from me! :-)

Can't help you with that, sorry. You may need to ask the Cheese
programmers. If luvcview (or guvcview) works, the camera and the driver
are fine.
