MS Lifecam VX1000 working on arch?

Hey,

For a university Augmented Reality project, I am trying to get a MS LifeCam VX1000 webCam to work on arch.

According to this:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html

The webcam is supposed to be supported on Linux.

After plugging it into the USB port, I got:

usb 7-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
usb 7-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
gspca: probing 045e:00f7
sonixj: Sonix chip id: 11
gspca: probe ok
gspca: probing 045e:00f7

But after trying to see images using xawtv (xawtv -c /dev/video1) I got:

[fio@delltux ~/CV]$ xawtv -c /dev/video1
This is xawtv-3.95, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.31-ARCH)

The image showing is a weird, total green image.

I am able to use my built in camera using xawtv -c /dev/video0.

Can anyone point me to something?

Thanks
