Re: MSI StarCam working in vlc only (with poor colors)

You must reload the driver,

rmmod uvcvideo
modprobe uvcvideo

otherwise the quirks want have any effect.

uvcvideo is now mantained in the mercurial repo at linuxtv,
installing v4l-dvb will also install uvcvideo, but if you want, just
follow the instructions on the wiki to compile, but use:
 hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/
so that you get the very latest (testing) uvc code.
In any case the quirks should be enough:
