It is Philipps SPC500NC.

I'm using ekiga which uses libpt's v4l2 support. The libpt package
depends on the libv4l package, which contains libv4l2, so it probably
uses the v4l2 library.

I could try another viewer for debugging, if this is of any use, but
ekiga is what I care about.

Tip of my tree is 13436:f353aa2982f2, which seems to be the latest one.

After rebooting my computer this morning, the cam worked for a few
minutes without those color glitches. Then, after turning off the light
in my room and turning it on again, the image started alternating
quickly between light and dark.  I tried to get rid of it with
re-plugging the device, but this soon led to the original problem
(red/green tints). I tried another reboot, but no luck.
