HOW TO PATCH AND INSTALL GSPCA DRIVER WITH VFLIP OPTION My usb webcam was ok with gspca driver, but it display me upside down. Everyone said to me to turn upside down the camera, that is the fastest and simple solution, but I wanted to try to fix it anyway; so I've searched on the web a patch to fix it, and I've found it here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466051 [thanks to Sergey Lungu] it functions for me. STEPS TO DO 1. download gspcav1-20071224 drivers from my site, or everywhere else... 2. download the patch in the same directory of the drivers 3. untar the drivers and cd in the drivers directory ie: $ cd gspcav1-20071224/ 4. apply the patch $ patch <../gspcav1-20071224-vflip.patch -p1 5. set the option vflip=1 for our driver (must be root) # echo "options gspca vflip=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options I'm on debian... different distros may have the options file located in another place, check it out! If the options file don't exist, create it. 6. build the drivers (must be root) # ./gspca_build now your webcam must display you in the right way! if not, try to unload and reload the module in this way # modprobe -r gspca # modprobe gspca vflip=1 to verify if the options file function or not... enjoy! ^^
