When the camera first initializes it looks right for about one second, then goes dark. In Cheeze I can adjust the brightness, but this of course doesn't work in Skype or Google Hangouts. Also Cheeze hangs when trying to record video. I'd like to fix this of course.

apparently it is uvcvideo try
echo "options uvcvideo quirks=0x00000200" >> /etc/modprobe/99-local.conf
modprobe -r uvcvideo modprobe uvcvideo
report success or fail.
make that
echo "options uvcvideo quirks=512" >> /etc/modprobe/99-local.conf
instead of
echo "options uvcvideo quirks=0x00000200" >> /etc/modprobe/99-local.conf
(remember to remove the old line from the file as well)

Looking in the file, the old line is not even present. Perhaps it didn't take?
aw..
the correct path is /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf
(note the missing ".d")
