You seem to be having two different problems. Xawtv has some trouble 
allocating a video surface. That's related to your X server but not with the 
linux-uvc driver or the webcam.

The second problem (Unable to set format: 5) is definitely a hardware and/or 
driver issue.

I'd like to debug the driver issue first (because it will make solving the 
Xawtv problem easier, and because Xawtv is currently beyond the limits of my 
knownledge).

Can you reproduce the problem on your Dell Optiplex GX270 with the test 
program ? If so, are you using the same kernel version on both hardware ? Can 
you upgrade to 2.6.15 on the Optiplex if you haven't already ?
