I have similar problems but with the message: Unable to set format: 5

I know these are different problems but luvcview and the uvc driver were 
working ok and after an upgrade the problems begun. My camera is a logitech 
fusion.

The problem appears to be an initialization problem in luvcview because 
luvcview work as expected when v4l-info is run first.

Now luvcview is packaged for debian, so in debian unstable all that is needed 
to get an UVC camera running is:

apt-get install luvcview
apt-get install module-assistant
apt-get install v4l-conf
m-a a-i linux-uvc

m-a is a nickname for module-assistant
v4l-conf is needed for v4l-info

then run v4l-info and luvcview
