Title:
  041e:4065 Creative VF380 Live Webcam not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Camera worked fine when I was running Debian 6. It also worked during
  the installation routine for Ubuntu 12.10 when I successfully took a
  picture of myself for the login screen. The camera works in Cheese if
  I spin up a Fedora 17 Live DVD. But in Ubuntu 12.10 in cheese, skype,
  or Google+ all I ever get is a black screen.

  Running hwinfo --usb gives:
