The one nuisance is that there is no control of the autofocus from the host computer in Linux, so I have to have cheese or something else running and press a button on the camera, which is a bit awkward and giggles the camera position. The Windows software (Presenter) has controls, though interestingly seems to only power the cam to 1600 by 1200. It has a high similarity to cheese. One wonders ...
There is a Cheese bug open about providing access to low-level camera controls:
