Bug Description

Have an Acer 5920 series ZD1 model laptop with acer orbicam found as below :
[ 14.595372] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Acer CrystalEye webcam (064e:a101)
[ 14.597417] input: Acer CrystalEye webcam as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/input/input7
[ 14.597507] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[ 14.597511] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)

The Default input plugin for video in gstreamer-propersties is v4l2, device /dev/video0

The problem
When clicking on test in gstreamer-properties, the test window comes up, however is much lower than default VGA resolution of 640x480

Cheese / skype operate at the resolution of 160x120 only. With any higher configuration I get the following error in cheese.
libv4l2: error allocating conversion buffer

Running Intrepid installed natively.
