Hi all.

I can on my Acer notebook flip camera over rorizontal axis. 
(photo of camera: http://www.karry.wz.cz/img/blog/camera_detail.jpg )
If I flip camera on windows, driver follow suit and flip image too. 
So up direction on the real is up on the image.

Linux driver not follow suit.
I know, this is not priority, we can flip image manualy on some sensors 
(if user program allows this control), but this is place for playing (hacking)
for someone who have many time :)

I found out, that on Acer notebooks we can detect camera flip by reading 
bridge register 0x76 (M5602_XB_GPIO_DAT). On my system, if camera 
see to front (on me), value of this register is 0x5f, if see back, value is 
0x1f.
So we can detect camera direction with six bit of M5602_XB_GPIO_DAT.

Happy playing :)

Regards Lukas.
