I've got the same camera, and am running a stock Centos 5.4 distro compiling the 32-bit version from scratch and am seeing the same issues.
I'm not much of a programmer, but I can apply patches and provide any other info the developers may need to help resolve this.
Same problem different camera

I have the same problem, but a different camera. Rosewill RCM-3201v. The camera functions on Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop, but will not work with Ubuntu Server 9.04 and Zoneminder 1.24.2. My camera is also using the uvcvideo driver. V4l -info shows lots of info on the camera, but ZM refuses under any settings to show video. Under 1280 X 1024 resolution I get a giant black box. (my camera is 1.3 meagapixel) Other settings, 640 X 480 show a white box with icon.
Please Help!

Display problem on AMD64 systems

After a lot of time wasted, I think I found a solution. (AMD64)

Edit the file /usr/bin/zmdc.pl (#sudo gedit /usr/bin/zmdc.pl)
insert the following line:
$ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so';
this line should be inserted just before the "my @daemons = (" line
just restart zoneminder and it magically works !

it works with single chip camera cp-1l

All the above worked for me.. using cp-1l micro innovations single chip webcam. ubuntu 10.4 and zoneminder 1.24.2 rgb24 320x240 ntsc.
Re: No video in ZM, but XAWTV works fine...
