Hi, This is certainly not an ekiga bug (it will happen with any application), but rather a hardware issue. The webcam has been mounted upside down in the frame, the vendor probably solves this by providing a custom driver which corrects this in software, if you would use the default microsoft UVC driver in windows the image would be upside down too.
In Linux, the upside down problem for UVC camera's is solved in userspace by the libv4l library. libv4l has the ability to correct the upside down image, but it needs to know that the webcam is mounted upside down to begin with. In order for libv4l to know this it has a table of laptops which are known to have their webcam upside down. Chances are good your laptop is already in this table, so first please try the latest libv4l: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.6.2-test.tar.gz Which I've just updated with a table entry for the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook P7230 Installation instructions are here: http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7622.html If that does not help, your laptop probably needs to be added to the upside down devices list, see this post for the information I need for this: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2009-June/004886.html -- reversed image with webcam Logitec 09b2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223987 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
