v4l2 Camera & palette problem

Question

I've compiled the svn version and applied the v4l2 patch everything seems to be OK, i've edited my motion.conf to change videodevice to v4l2:/dev/video0 but motion doesn't works telling that my palette is not supported. Here is the output.

The problem is that current v4l2 patch doens't support the palette of your webcam , that uses ucvideo module ( http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ )
