I'm using an Asus laptop with a built-in webcam and getting the
upside-down image problem that's been previously reported [1] but the
LD_PRELOAD solutions aren't working for me. I've installed libv4l-0
0.8.3-1 and skype 2.2.0.35-1 (from skype.com for amd64), and running
an x86_64 kernel. These commands
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
give an "ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from
LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored." warning but skype runs.
This one
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
doesn't give that warning, and skype runs.
In all 3 cases, the webcam image is still upside-down. Any other
suggestions?
