Hi,
Please tag libv4l-0.6.2-1.fc12 for F12 inclusion
This release contains a few small (innocent) fixes, but the reason I would like to see in F-12 is to make the livecd do the right thing wrt webcams on Asus laptops out of the box.
Asus has this nasty habbit of installing webcam modules upside down inside the frame of their laptops. Since the same modules (with the same usb id's) get used not upside down by other manufacturers, libv4l has a table with the DMI strings of known to have upside down cam laptops (Mostly Asus, and some Lenovo).
The big change in this small bugfix release is recognizing 17 more models as having their laptop upside down, so including this in F-12 will make the livecd handle the cam right on these 17 different laptop models.
