You are most probably using the Philips driver. The Philips driver has
new bugs, including that one, one of the workarounds is to go to :
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/release.html#pwcx

Download pwcx and insert it with :
insmod -f path_to_pwcx-i386.o

And it will work !

(Notice the webpage explains how to automate the insmod, however, for
the first try, you can do it manually)
