syntek webcam (SOLVED)

hi everyone, i got a little problem

i had a PB Easynote mx456+
with a built-in webcam (syntek)
i've downloaded the stk11xx-svn package from yaourt, and the webcam works. But there's a detail i couldn't fix yet. (yeah, te vertical flip)

i've tried this:

$ cat /sys/class/video4linux/video0/vflip

$ echo 1 >/sys/class/video4linux/video0/vflip

and the camera works excellent after doing that, the problem is that on reboot.. it forget's the manually setted configuration

anyone knows how to order the system to boot with this option?

i've already tried sending the stk11xx module to blacklist on /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  and putting stk11xx vflip=1 on /etc/modules

but on reboot, the module it not loaded and i can't get to view my webcam (unless i charge the module manually and repeat the first 2 steps to get the image with the right vflip)

forgive my possible language errors, 'cause i'm a natural spanish speaker

Re: syntek webcam (SOLVED)

well.. i've find the solution!

actually it was very simple, i quote myself

"i've already tried sending the stk11xx module to blacklist on /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  and putting stk11xx vflip=1 on /etc/modules"

that's what you gotta do.. but instead of calling /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, the name should be /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

and the same for /etc/modules ... it should became /etc/modules.conf

greetings
and solved!
