I have removed the nvidia driver (installed and uninstalled via the hardware drivers utility system->administration) and the system is using nouveau drivers.
Webcam back to normal from restart and from cold boot. (so far, touch wood, after 4 restarts) Also cpu usage is lower with nouveau than with nvidia driver. (go figure!) I will continue to test and report findings. I am currently still using rebuild kernel with ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd as midules, but will remove nvidia from normal apt tree and try that as well. I will also try maverick without nvidia (currently installed) and also report for upstream. Can I get compiz with nouveau?
