Which gspca driver is installed (lsmod | grep gspca)? And it might require exporting LD_PRELOAD with v4lcompat.so or v4l2convert.so.
It's the gspca_vc032x module. LD_PRELOADING either lib did not make a difference and Cheese spits out an internal data flow error when started from the CLI.
Have you tried with mplayer? Do the export, then: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:width=320:height=240
and see what you see. The idea is to try a different viewer.
From digging in my mail archives the error in /var/log/messages was:
Jan 3 17:37:10 luna kernel: [ 7358.087971] gspca: ISOC data error: [62] len=0, status=-71
That was on Fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 and the id of the webcam is: Logitech Orbicam 046d:0896
The patch that fixed it is:

Hmmmm, I'm a bit confused: it looks as though the commented out lines are identical to the new lines; and as there's no + in front of it, it looks as though the statement to set sensor was there before... so I don't get the difference.
I do get the logic: probe the sensor, and if it says it's this, then reset it to that.
