So this is the linux driver. if it's not v4l yet could it be grabbed by gem?

Hi all,
I have found this great camera: http://shop1.frys.com/product/5421229?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
and multiple threads on drivers at http://nuigroup.com and in the openframeworks forum.
the cam can do 120fps@320x240 for 30$ in amazon...
I also found an old thread about using pix_freeframe on pd/gem in windows: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-11/066401.html Has anyone successfully captured this camera in gem on linux or osx?
tried it on ubuntu 9.04, it works fine with "cheese" and some other applications, but I had no luck with gem. (didn't try pdp yet). there's a picture when using the cam with gem but it's unusably distorted (looks like a rainbow coloured "grid" on top of the picture). also some crashes occured while changing its settings in gem. i had not much time for further testing, so maybe it's possible to make it work. i had similar errors with an other cam in mplayer before, where v4l fps setting fixed it.
I was using drivers from http://kaswy.free.fr/?q=node/42 - maybe the original drivers are different with gem...?
there's hardly visible noise and very nice contrast, but edges seemed to be over-sharpened - perhaps that's adjustable somewhere. nice cam for this price, but i wouldn't rely on it until know.
btw. the built in 4-channel audio inteface works fine using oss + pd.
