Hello, Until now I have used the kmod pwc.ko and an external Philips webcam in my FreeBSD 9-CURRENT laptop with Skype, works fine; to get the built-in cam working I switched to webcamd/cuse4bsd with the following problem now; here are the details: # uname -a FreeBSD tinyCurrent 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #1 r214444: Thu Oct 28 10:56:32 CEST 2010 guru@current.Sisis.de:/usr/home/guru/myThings/FreeBSD/9-CURRENT/obj/usr/home/guru/myThings/FreeBSD/9-CURRENT/src/sys/GENERIC i386 # pkg_info | fgrep cuse cuse4bsd-kmod-0.1.23 Cuse4BSD character device loopback driver for userspace # pkg_info | fgrep webcam pwcview-1.4.1_3 The Video4Linux PWC webcam viewer webcamd-3.1.0.4 A port of Linux USB webcam and DVB drivers into userspace the two cams are: ugen4.2: <WebCam Sonix Technology Co., Ltd.> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON ugen1.2: <product 0x0329 vendor 0x0471> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON and webcamd(8) creates two devices: # ls -l /dev/video* crw-rw-rw- 1 webcamd webcamd 0, 96 1 ene 16:52 /dev/video0 crw-rw-rw- 1 webcamd webcamd 0, 116 1 ene 17:08 /dev/video8 /dev/video0 ist the built-in, /dev/video8 the external USB (0x0329:0x0471 which is a Philips SPC 900); pwcview(1) works with both cams unsing the -d flag; as well Kopete let me choose between both cams and both are working; skype-2.0.0.72,1 does not work with /dev/video0 (and does not show the existance of a 2nd device); what can I do with this Skype? must I go back to the kmod pwc.ko?
