[linux-uvc-devel] WebCAM Chicony (04f2:b3fd) in Asus N550 Laptop

[<owa...@gm...>]

Hello,

I do have an Asus N550 laptop with integrated WebCAM.

However uvc in Fedora FC27 does not provide a /dev/video device for it.
Any suggestions how to configure my Linux to use the WebCAM ?

In Windows the WebCAM works well, however with a generic driver the
picture is flipped upside down as known for other ASUS integrated
WebCAMs as well.
