I'm using Jaunty and I can confirm this issue. In Jaunty, the default
libv4l version is 0.5.8 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libv4l-0).

I installed version 0.5.98 from source as #13 suggests, but that didn't
work (picture still green). I also installed version 0.5.9-1 from Karmic
with Gdebi, but that didn't work either (both Cheese and Ekiga crash
with the error message "memory override").

Finally I got it working by installing version 0.5.99 from source. Here
is how:

1. download and unpack http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.99.tar.gz 
on your computer
2. install build dependencies with command: 
  sudo apt-get build-dep libv4l-0
3. go to correct directory: 
  cd libv4l-0.5.99/
4. compile: 
  make
5. install: 
  sudo make install PREFIX=/usr
6. shut down the computer completely and then turn it on again for to camera to 
reset

Now it works correctly for me!

I guess this bug will be automatically fixed for Karmic if it will
contain the libv4l version 0.5.99
