Fujitsu Siemens LIFEBOOK P7230
Camera chip is mounted correctly, but then some optometrist placed a
lens in front of it ;-)
Really, the problem is there in Windows as well, but the windows
driver is rotating the image. The Linux driver is not. :-(
Regards
Rainer

What's the notebook model?
As far as I was aware, the 1841 device was mounted correctly in the
laptops that have that camera model. :)

We're using the r5u870 driver version 0.11.1 on a Notebook with the
Ricoh 1841 camera chip. Unfortunately the camera is mounted upside
down so we need to flip the image from the camera as well upside down.
Trying to set the flip-bits in the driver source wasn't successful at
all. Then we found a hint on a blog about a software called
"camsource" which could do the job and use the vloopback device to
deliver the rotated image back to other apps.
Unfortunately camstream is not able to read from the camera device.
All we get is a "no such device" error. The strange thing is that
Kopete is able to use this device with the only problem of the upside
down image. Other webcam apps like gtkcam also refuse to work.
Environement is an openSUSE 10.3 installation.
Thanks
Rainer
