Bug Description

The latest version of gspca module (1.00.20) can be downloaded from here:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
It has support for many new webcams, e.g. my Logitech Quickcam Express (046d:0928)
I could make my cam working by removing the old Ubuntu-supplied gspca.ko and doing a make install.
Upgrading the module in linux-ubuntu-modules would make it work out of the box.

For me the module does not work at all with Skype on 64bit system. Upgrading the module manually to current version solves the problem (but is annoying to do after each kernel upgrade).
According to skype forums this is a problem with bad support for compat_ioctl32 in the old module version, see http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=101297&st=180&p=463468&#entry463468 for more.

There is a package named gspca-source, and it is fairly up-to-date (1.00.18). I don't understand, why the linux-ubuntu-modules keeps the Feisty era buggy and less devices supporting version.
