Sure. If my parents don't get round to installing the gtalk video plugin this w/end it'll be via colleagues at work.

Oh also I should comment that although gtalk video seemed okay and I was sure the mirror seemed okay (I think via mplayer tv:// stuff), the mirror app looked quite bad in the evening. I used my n97 and yes low light caused grainyness but the n900 was clearly more yellow with wrong contrast/white balance/hue. It was pink and nice with a bit less noise on the n97. I think the n900's cam was unusably awful before fw1.1 though.
I then tried switching /dev/video0 and 1 just by mv'ing the special device files and seeing if camera would work (no), or mirror (yes). The view with mirror using the 5MP cam was interestingly poor and yellow compared to the camera. I suspect with v4l-tools / dov4l the problems could be mostly solved.

The image from my side looks good, so I really suspect the FW1.1 fixed the driver and that various ioctls against the video device are able to fix up the colour/contrast issues that you see with the python mirror app.

Note that when you downscale you can get a (more) decent image. The local video seems ~200-ish pixels wide (maybe just 160x120 ?), which makes noise disappear, but is pretty useless from an aspect of a mirror (I tried 
).
).
