Oooo intruiiiging

it does need gstreamer, but thought all n900's had that?
might have found it's first fault?

edit - in x-term you could try

gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=100 ! dspjpegenc ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/test.jpg
i set 100 buffers as that should make it a bit brighter, not much though.
