Which ekiga are you using ? We have add a small hack in the last version of
ekiga (2.0.9) for the gspca5xx/spca5xx driver to force the 640x480 mode and
have the full resolution of the sensor.

Did the image is inverted even with other program (like xawtv, camorama, ...)
?

Damien: and if we add a expert setting for the video preference to allow the
user to select the capture size ?). Perhaps we can do this to allow capture
audio in 44100/48000Khz to solve problem with alsa and bad cards.
