OK, never mind the error I got in my last comment, it was not fatal - the isight does work!
I think these are the steps: Install isight-firmware-tools from: http://ppa.launchpad.net/bersace/ubuntu/pool/main/i/isight-firmware- tools/isight-firmware-tools_1.0.2-0ubuntu0~ppa1_i386.deb Then extract the firmware with ift-extract, and add an entry for usbfs to /etc/fstab (or mount it directly): sudo addgroup --system usbfs cat /etc/group | grep usbfs | sed -e 's/.*:.*:\([0-9]*\):.*/\1/' | \ xargs -iUSBFS_ID echo none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=USBFS_ID,devmode=664 0 0 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab Now reboot and the firmware should be loaded by udev automatically. If you do modprobe uvcvideo, the firmware is already loaded and it will not fail. I suggest that the firmware loading is removed from linux-ubuntu- modules-2.6.24, as they are in the upstream uvcvideo. The firmware loading inside uvcvideo does not work.
