The ViewQuest Technologies, Inc. CS330 WebCam is the one i have been trying to set up. i have also tried a creative webcam vista and i get the same output.

I am having the very same trouble in both the Intrepid and Jaunty releases of Ubuntu. The closest I've ever come to getting it right is a test pattern and that's about it. But I pretty much have the same display issues as the original poster, no matter what cam software I use. This camera did work fine with Cheese under Hardy, so something broke along the way. Here is my lsusb:

I am using the same cam and model number as the original poster. Although the manufacturer label on the cam says Intel.
