possible progress on XO-1 camera issues

Hey guys, 

Is it cheating to change the screen depth? I change it to 24 bpp and now
cheese and totem work. Changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

(in the Screen Section)

  DefaultDepth  24

(in the Display SubSection)

    Depth 24

Cheese doesn't show live video from the camera but I am able to take
pictures. And totem reproduces video (no sound, but hey! that it is
another thread/ticket). 

Anything wrong with using X with 24bpp?

I can feel F11 on the XO-1 near.... :)
