I'm not going to touch the qcamview issue. If it can generate a video stream on FreeBSD, it might be made to work with GnomeMeeting without too much work, but I don't know enough about it to say much. At least a plug-in would need to be written for it to work. Other then that, no joy. Only bktr(4) devices are currently supported in FreeBSD and, as of the last patches to GM I submitted, it is not seeing that camera. (I just have not had any time to debug it.) While bktr(4) devices are cheap, none is available for laptops as far as I know. So, as far as I can tell, GM on FreeBSD is currently restricted to sending audio, although it receives both audio and video. But feel free to work on it. Maybe you can find the problem before someone else does. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
