I have a laptop with a manufacture error in the webcam where the image 
is upside down. I can call webcamd manually and use -m to rotate the 
image, but how do I get it to do this in rc.d/devd so that it does it 
automatically?

I've tried using instances, but I'm not sure that the rc script is 
actually reading it - in fact it seems to even hang.

In my rc.conf I have webcamd_0_flags="-m 'v4l2-dev.v4l_hflip=1 
v4l2-dev.v4l-vflip=1'".

In the rc script file it says that devd will automatically add devices, 
if no devd then instances will have to be used; but it doesn't say if 
both can be used together. From the code, it seems it may be a 
possibility, but I'm looking for confirmation or a better solution to 
the dilemma.


Cheers
