I suggest you to update your kernel. sn9c20x is absoleted by gspca from 2.6.31 kernel. Anyway, it seems to be driver issue (flip and whitebalance functions are not supported on some sensors)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I learned meanwhile parallel that it is a driver problem propably.
I assume the cam is able to do it because under win xp (dual boot) all applications handle various possibilities.
Anyway, a kernel update is in the end an upgrade to opensuse 11.2
As I'm not quit sure to stay at opensuse or switch to Kubuntu the webcam will be rotated physically.
Thank you for your reply!

I've checked gspca sources (drivers/media/video/gspca/sn9c20x.c:1278) and found that driver doesn't support hflip/vflip with your sensor (ov7660). Anyway, libv4l supports software vflip/hflip. So, please try v4l2ucp-2.0.2, it communicates with device through libv4l now, so you'll be able to control software flipping.

Hello,
I compiled today the webcam driver for my linux system successful.
The only issue left is that I need to rotate or flip the picture 180 degrees.
In VLC (linux) it is no problem, it is one mouseclick.
In Skype and others I tried to make it with v412ucp and to use the monitor functions as well.
But there are some functions not working:
-automatic white balance
-both flip controls
Your help is welcome.
