What is the gray image ? the decompressor is only use for biffer resolution
(640x480) and some 320x240 (by memory). So the gray image effect is:
- you don't see the image, => missing the decompressor i think.
- you have a gray border around the image because you are using a bad
resolution in v4l1. => it's feature (but i don't like it) that is not
present in v4l2.
Note: I don't use the driver in the kernel.

They are already a driver that support v4l2, but it's not in the mainline
kernel. This is problem that need to be fixed, but cleanup the code, and add
features is (for me) the most important part. So for the moment, grab the
driver on my website.
