How can I find software to make use of my cam (even at least for video captures to a paint program for example)? Searches for "ppbus0" and "webcam" at freebsd.org were severely limited. A search for [Microsoft's videoconferencing app] "netmeeting" turned up a promising port called "gnomemeeting" (wish it were kdemeeting hee hee) but a pkg_add -r for that failed to find it, and regardless, can apps written for gnome work on KDE? I haven't tried that yet. Thanks someone. PS: I just pkg_add'ed something called "cphone" but there are no docs. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
