Description Ingvar Hagelund 2026-02-18 12:30:39 UTC 
When applications use the built-in ov02c10 based camera, the captured image is upside-down


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Fedora 43 on a Dell XPS 13 9340 with kernel-6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64
2.Run qcam

Actual Results:
Captured image is upside-down

Expected Results:
Captured image should be the normal way

Additional Information:
Same issue with latest rawhide kernel 6.20.0-0.rc0.260216g0f2acd3148e0e.8.fc45.x86_64, see attached dmesg.txt

Bug first appeared in kernel-6.18.9-200.fc43.x86_64. The image is the right way with kernel-6.18.8-200.fc43.x86_64.

libcamera version: libcamera-0.5.2-5.fc43.x86_64

Extra modules: akmod-v4l2loopback from rpmfusion

Related: #2368952, #2355032. Note that the flickering bug seems fixed now.

I recently updated the Dell firmware, running now on BIOS 1.23.0. Don't know if this may be related. 

Workaround: Turn the image in OBS and use the virtual camera, or boot with 6.18.8-200.fc43.x86_64.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2026-02-25 20:33:24 UTC 
This should be fixed by this patch which I just submitted upstream:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20260225203058.40545-1-johannes.goede@oss.qualcomm.com/

Kate, maybe you can submit a kernel-ark fedora-6.19 branch PR to backport this quickly ?
Comment 3 Kate Hsuan 2026-02-26 12:14:08 UTC 
Hi Hans,

Thank you for your solutions.

I'll prepare the MR.

What is the output of (run as regular user):

grep . /sys/class/dmi/id/* 2> /dev/null

?
Comment 6 Ingvar Hagelund 2026-03-04 15:38:40 UTC 
I can confirm that the fix works fine om my Dell XPS 13 9340. Thanks for the quick response.
