comment: first try, more to come ;-)
v4l2: your device driver does not support VIDIOC_G_STD ioctl, VIDIOC_G_PARM was used instead.

i'm a real beginner with Linux so if someone can give me any suggestions, or a start point to investigate... it would be great!
note aside:
the webcam is a creative ct6840
the output of the command: ls -ltr /dev/video* is crw-rw—-+ 1 root video 81, 0 Nov 11 09:06 /dev/video0
