Error message with Genius webcam

I was provided a new webcam to work with. It is a Genius Slim 1322AF. When trying to run usb_cam node (on dev/video1) I get the following error message:

VIDIOC_S_FMT error 22, Invalid argument


I have tested it on Ubuntu's Cheese Webcam Booth application and it works fine so I don't think the problem lays on the driver.

I am very tired... and haven't found any satisfying answer on linux forums so I'm just going to ask someone on ROS' mailing list.
