xawtv has known bugs making it not work with gspca (or many other
properly implemented v4l drivers that is). Now those bugs are fixed in
some distro's but this might very well be the cause. Try using ekiga
(together with LD_PRELOAD=..../v4l1compat.so)

Hmm, weird it still prints that other message then. Anyways please
try with another application both with and without the force_sensor
parameter.

p.s.

I've attached a patch to xawtv which I use in Fedora's packages.
