*bump*
help guys?
it would be great if the opening of the back cover could trigger the use of the back camera and disable the front camera and vise versa.

bump;
any one working on this idea?
I know skype is closed source. but is there a way to emulate the back camera as front camera or script which redirects front camera when called to the back camera. so that we run the srcipt first and when skyp is called it will automatically connects to the back camera. any ideas?

what about creating a virtual device "/dev/videostream" and streaming the front camera to it by default, and when the back-lid is open switch the streaming to back-camera.

This being linux, wouldn't there be a way to trick Skype into reading from a different device while thinking it is still dealing with the face camera?
Btw, did anyone tried that change to transmit in 640x480? Does it work? Does it look any better to the person on the other side of the line?
