[USB] Webcams

Same thing applies for the PCVC820k/00, ToUcam II (based on OV518+ chipset). Same garbage.

See this page:

"
Q: I tried using my OV518/OV518+ camera, but I only get colorful garbage in the top 1/8 of the window.
A: Make sure you aren't using the "dumppix=1" parameter (that is only needed for the "d518" program)."
