Sorry, didn't mean to make fun of your circumstance. Does it work 
normally with another OS?? It would be telling to see if it works on a 
Windows machine. Anything about that effect in your manual? Does the 
camera rotate and you didn't notice? I've played with a couple of web 
cams, and I don't believe I've ever encountered that problem.

Others report driver problems. I'm finding a BUNCH of pages on "webcam 
display upside down" Google that. Google is your friend. :) Ric
