Oops. I had the camera not working after updating the power kernel and tried this fix. I think I bricked my phone instead.

Looks like I'm gonna try reflashing the kernel.

One note, when I did apt-get remove fcamera, apt told me that it was removing several kernel-related packages. I was on auto-pilot, and should have just said "no."

Update: flashed just the kernel and we're up and running again.
