Picture upside Down Webcam Genius EYE 312 ID 093a:2622 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

and the amsn :)

the comment flied away :)

So, the same problem here, and some more:
splitted screen with wrong colours

Karmic Koala 2.6.31-16-generic i686 kernel

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 093a:2622 Pixart Imaging, Inc.

lsmod |grep gspca
gspca_pac7311 9788 0
gspca_main 22812 1 gspca_pac7311
videodev 36736 1 gspca_main

Affects me as well, I am using karmic...you can make it almost work by manually compiling the gspca driver, in the end you get the image, but unfortunately it will be flipped and the framerate and image quality will be very poor.

I am sure this can be fixed somehow.

Not a cheese bug, this is a linux kernel bug. Marking bug as confirmed from the comments.

@tamalet: Yours seems a slightly different webcam model , it would be preferable if you filed a separate bug in "linux" package

@Takmadeus: You havent mentioned your webcam model if

Same problem on an Asus K60IJ laptop. There are numerous posts about this and many laptops affected by it. Windows had the same problem but it was fixed there by using updated Chacony drivers. There is a fix described in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8925031#post8925031, but that's only a stopgap. A kernel repair is really needed.

@Nostradamnit - As you have a different webcam model the solution to your bug is likely to be different than the solution to this bug. Can you please add the info from comment #11 in this bug to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/561200

@Everyone_else - Does this bug still occur in Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat"?

Good news! My image is no longer upside down in Meerkat, on an Asus K60IJ laptop. :=)) Saves me the agony and risk of disassembling my laptop lid, which might not have solved the problem anyway!!!

I spoke a little too quickly. The image is correctly oriented in cheesd and XawTV -- but not, I just discovered, in Skype. Does anyone know why the Skype behavior should be different?

This bug was filed against a series that is no longer supported and so is being marked as Won't Fix. If this issue still exists in a supported series, please file a new bug.
