webcam (UVC)

I know there are is a ton of information on webcams, but after 3 hours of searching for an answer to my problem, I thought I would just ask.

I have a lenovo y510, which comes with a UVC webcam

uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Lenovo EasyCamera (046d:09b6)
input: Lenovo EasyCamera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-6/2-6:1.0/input/input14
usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)

As you can see everything is loaded properly.

However as of, recently, I get horrible fps with it unless at 320x280 resolution... which is still only 6.5 fps (which is livable compared to the <.5 I was getting at any other resolution (smaller or bigger))

tested with ekiga and guvcview, with the same results.

I also tried unloading and reloading the module (uvcvideo) with modprobe... I dunno why i did that, maybe I was hoping it would change something

eh, in any case I'm stumped

Anyone know anything that could help?
