Comment 9 for bug 224559

The same symptoms are present even in 2.6.29-rc8-git5. I have a weird feeling we're gonna wait for a long time for this, Bazilio :-(

This is a very well known issue with UVC. Have a look at (the very arrogant) footnote #3 here: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#footnote-3

You see, flipping the frames in the uvc driver source is a rather simple thing as demonstrated here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=838210, and there is no such thing in the kernel uvc driver. It adds a little bit of a processing overhead because flipping is in software, but what the heck - it works at least.

Hopefully, in two releases from now, we will have the then-available uvc drivers in the kernel, which seem to be promising (according to hg log | grep vflip)
