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

modprobe -r uvcvideo modprobe uvcvideo

Yeah, use 512 not 0x00000200
Also an invalid argument.

Your webcam is supported but seems to be buggy and needs some quirks I could not figure out from this side of the planet.
Please report your issues to the linux-uvc-devel mailing list, that will be certainly more helpful.
Grepping source with: grep -i quirk /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/video/uvc/*
gives a lot of hits in uvc_video.c and uvcvideo.h, but few below have some values:
./uvcvideo.h:/* Devices quirks */ ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_STATUS_INTERVAL 0x00000001 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_PROBE_MINMAX 0x00000002 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_PROBE_EXTRAFIELDS 0x00000004 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_BUILTIN_ISIGHT 0x00000008 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_STREAM_NO_FID 0x00000010 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_IGNORE_SELECTOR_UNIT 0x00000020 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_FIX_BANDWIDTH 0x00000080 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_PROBE_DEF 0x00000100 ./uvcvideo.h:#define UVC_QUIRK_RESTRICT_FRAME_RATE 0x00000200
Hex numbers in the list appear to me as flags that enable certain behavior. That means there can be valid combinations that enable few functions at once. With 9 unique flags that makes a lot of combinations to try.
In other words someone on linux-uvc-devel ML, that Cristian mentioned, should be able to help.

The quirk is most likely UVC_QUIRK_RESTRICT_FRAME_RATE + (?????) as webcams from the same manufacturer use it according to the list..
UVC_QUIRK_RESTRICT_FRAME_RATE
"Ignore all frame intervals reported by the device but the first one. This quirk is used for a specific device that reports buggy frame intervals, **making the image severely underexposed when selected**"

sure... remove the line and try

does that also returns invalid arguments ? (works here)
