camera upside down

[someNewb]

hello,
i have bought new asus notebook and the webcame is shown upside down

i have read through this thread but my driver is called "uvcvideo" and it does not seem to know option vflip=1

everytime i write
sudo modprobe uvcvideo vflip=1
it writes:
FATAL: Error inserting uvcvideo (/lib/modules/2.6.31-15-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

i also tried installing this utility called "v4l2ucp" (who the hell makes these terrible `names`??) and it has all kind of settings like brightness, contrast and everything but no "vflip" option

i am hopeless

It seems you need to install https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC

i tried following the guide but it says "Navigate to the 'uvcvideo-1b4c7a6b9d26' directory "

where is this directory? i searched all the directories inside / the only results it brought were directories named "uvcvideo"

and when i wrote "make menuconfig" inside them (as the guide tells me to) it wrote error
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop

by the way, are you trying to make me install drivers for my usb camera? because i thought they came with the ubuntu. or is there some option that can flip the video when recompiling drivers? i'm confused
