Worked for me too, thanks! (Karmic USB live desktop, eMachines W3611).

I also had to add a PPA (I used this one: https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer) with opencore-amr to get step 2 to work on my 9.04 setup. Though later on I see that a (more recent)...

YES!!

amsterbran: sorry, no. And the Y510 is out of my hands now. Hopefully a straightforward fix will surface sometime soon. I can't expect the proud new owners of this laptop to do much more than 'sudo...

Thanks anyway for all your help. One question -- is there a way to be 100% sure that my system is actually using the uvc driver that I've compiled from your patched sources? If I understand your last...

Ok, so that at least gets a working luvcview, though if I try to maximize/restore the window it sometimes segfaults. And it's still upside down. :)

Edit: Also, Cheese works, but still upside-down.

Thanks, I just tried that but I still get a freeze (for both of the luvcview commands).

Skype also freezes after the patch--both Skype and Cheese seemed to work okay except upside-down before. I haven't tried the other two you mention. I downloaded the latest available (SVN r242) uvc...

I've tried all 4 and get a system freeze when I start Cheese each time.

How can I get back to whatever I had before--upside down webcam was better than a frozen system. :)

I get the exact same thing. I would like to get the webcam working; hopefully someone can figure it out.
