Description:

When I rotate my tablet PC with xrandr, the webcam remains unrotated, so the webcam is only then useful in landscape mode (where it it oriented properly by default). There should be a way for the webcam to autorotate after the screen has been rotated with xrandr. Additionally, Cheese, the default webcam program in Gnome, does not feature a way to rotate the webcam input.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
cheese: 3.2.1
v4l-utils: 0.8.5

Steps to reproduce:
Rotate the screen with xrandr (e.g. `xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate right`.
The screen is now in portrait mode (rotated 90 degrees), and the webcam is 90 degrees off, because it doesn't rotate.

I would appreciate it if someone with more knowledge than me in the technicalities could direct me to the appropriate place upstream to file a bug report. Thanks.
This task depends upon

This is probably a kernel driver bug, report it there.
