Hi, Webcamd does not really need HAL. Make sure you have disabled HALD in your /etc/rc.conf aswell. Even though not installed webcamd's RC script checks for this. Else try to see if some webcamd processes might be blocked, for example by running them in the foreground. Webcamd does not create /dev/dsp* entries by the way. --HPShome | help
