--Sig_/Recii25IZwIVD=LbC_5O2kF Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I desperately need to have a SKYPE based chat with an offshore department. Since Skype is not a native port, I try to use a virtual box running Windows 7. And here the nightmare begins. Skype works in the VBox, but audio only. I have two WebCAMs here, a brand new Logitech C270 and a older Medion MD86511. The latter one can be seen in the device list of Windows 7 within the VBox, but can not be activated. More frustrating, the Logitech C270, doesn't work, it is not even seen by the VBox. I tested the cam on another Windows 7 system of a colleague and it works. FreeBSD does also "see" this USB Cam, but why is the device hidden for the VBox? In the configuration, I have the ability to enable/disable USB 2.0 subsystem. Enabled, VBox rejects to start on all FBSD around (9.3-PRE, 11-CURRENT). What is that? Is VBox not capable of using USB 2.0 devices in conjunction with FreeBSD? How to solve this? Is there a Skype 6 client for FreeBSD? Thanks in advance, please CC me, Oliver --Sig_/Recii25IZwIVD=LbC_5O2kF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTxmHwAAoJEOgBcD7A/5N8SNIH/ivYzQ6phN7fKKGQ9vU/vi5X /+4w5lf+ASdCHqb90NAEafv/fBesgnO0wuGV/TCr+eUNJwWdTCle4cWQqt5WF1Cp 7dvOdwAhDxlgZTdsRBmN8AfYoPjebu1IlOfa7LLJ4juQfJouUrA692mWB40BlNLJ qjNQ3YB+vAROvjlILvZFC8VWIcjOLyJkAvizd0Y4G+BqZadm4pfM6KKkOJ/lec// Ld8mB7wxjvOYuqyJixpHDxgxon31IOf3quYjtZfJgnOIa10rAa0msYLuktDMOqSu K1JkrA3t7ZtMUhMBz59dJ+KJn/RIBOnMbvjC3vTeXAXJ/Dr/+KilIIr/qFWAjbM= =TcCl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/Recii25IZwIVD=LbC_5O2kF--
