Upside down camera & the usual fix does not seem to be working

Hey there,

So I'm one of those "lucky" owners of an Asus laptop with a camera (F3jp-ap098c) installed upside down, and so when I run Skype, or anything that uses the camera feed, it's upside down.

The usual fix you can find on the net is:
* install multilib/lib32-v4l-utils
* run skype with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

But when I do that, I get
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

and then skype proceeds executing like nothing happened and I still got my camera wrong.

Any ideas about what I could be doing wrong? (I am running x86_64)

Just to double check you have https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/v4l2ucp/
And the location is correct?  The file exists at /usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ?  If yes have you tried loading v4l2convert.so instead?  Just going off what I see online here but thought it might help.
