NHJ, Ltd Che-ez! Snap USB Webcam not fully working

I have this cheap old cardcam that works as a digital camera with internal memory and as a webcam.
I can get pictures out with gphoto2 but problem is that I can only get webcam work with xawtv. Cheese and Adobe Flash gives black screen. With xawtv i have to press once down/up arrow before the picture shows.

here's lsusb:

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 2770:9120 NHJ, Ltd Che-ez! Snap / iClick Tiny VGA Digital Camera

I found this sqcam-cvs driver in AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12451
but it doesn't compile with the new kernel (2.6.38, i686).

Any solutions?

edit. in xawtv's menu it says "Video Source: sq905" when the picture is showing.
