iSight (and external) web cams don't work after Display Driver 1.7 b3 installed

After installing 1.7 b3 and restarting, I found that my web-cam (both iSight and a usb logitech camera) would not display an image -- i just see solid grey.

The cameras do power up - the green light comes on for the iSight and the blue light on the logitech too...

Once I removed the driver and restarted the cams worked again.

Note that I tried installing several times and each time the same thing happened.

Also, I tested the cams with Skype, iChat and FaceTime -- all the same results.

In case it matters, I'm running a MBP 15" (mid 2009) with Lion from the AppStore...
