How do you flip (scale with a negative value) a mounted image?

I can flip it but the normals are left inside out! they seem to have been cached and flipping the geometry won't explicitly flip the normals..

That always happens when you get a negative-scaled axis: the normals will also be scaled negative. I don't think you can get around that without doing some changes in the source itself.

Oh. i get it. so i was flipping the normals too.. i have to search for the rendering of the geometry and flip only that.. altough i think the rendering is done as a glCallList or something.. what's that command? the one wherein it renders based on an array? i forgot..
