 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.
