Firewire camera not detected, works with other aps

I'm having the same problem with my built-in notebook webcam (MSI-1221). The webcam worked with Feisty, but it's not detected under Gutsy or Hardy Alpha 4.
Output from cheese in terminal:
gene@gene-msi-laptop:~$ cheese

After updates to Hardy on 15 Feb (2.6.24-7 kernel), webcam is detected and Cheese works!!!

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?
