Is it so hard to follow the UPDATES? It’s not like they’re marked with a bold red font…

Is there a way to make this work using Ubuntu 10.04?

It should be located in /lib/modules/[running kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media/.

Search for the module on your machine and simply delete so it won’t be loaded.

@Radu: I did (the libv4l library is installed and gets pre-loaded), but it did not help with my type of camera (seems like it is not supported by the libv4l upside-down fix).

@semaphore: You should have followed the update where you don’t patch your kernel (which is inefficient) but install a library that handles the cameras mounted upside down.

Thanks so much – I got my webcam with patch 1 working:
ASUS X70AE
OpenSuSE 11.2
Webcam Model: Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd 2.0M UVC Webcam / CNF7129
Had to install devel(C/C++) pattern, kernel sources, kernel-firmware packages (as there is no nuild-essentials on SuSE).
