This bug seems to be related to bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ov51x-jpeg/+bug/262853

and it also seems it was solved for Karmic

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/492744

but now it's back for Lucid (kernels 2.6.32-21 and -22).

The ov51x driver is unmaintained and will be removed from the debian archives (see Debian bug). Also, in Ubuntu 10.04, you might need to press Fn+F7, Fn+F10 or some other F key to enable the webcam. This was done automagically in 9.10

This webcam is USB device and any combination of Fn+F1-12 not work.
I have this device and try it. As ov51x is unmaintained then what I can do? What bugzilla write new bug?
I read on Debian that main project is gscpa - I must write to gspca?
