Re: Asus UL30Jt

 

Thank you Jiri,

The webcam upside down is an issue that more Asus laptops have, and I
found these links while researching the problem for a 2 year old Asus
laptop:

http://linux-macbook-air-killers.blogspot.com/2010/02/solution-for-asus-ul30a-skype-flipped.html
I haven't dived into it yet, but I will see whether these links are
useful solving this problem for the UL30Jt once it arrives.

Thanks a lot for the info! Look really fwd to have Ubuntu running ;-)
I'll let you know if I know more.

Best,
Jarra
