Thanks > > matthias Hi all, We need some common effort to get Video4Linux USB devices working on FreeBS= D.=20 =46irst of all we need to push a video4linux library. =2Dlvideodevx Methods: int videodevx_open(int unit); /* returns a handle, not neccesarily a=20 file-handle */ int videodevx_read(int hdl, ptr, len); int videodevx_write(int hdl, ptr, len); int videodevx_ioctl(int hdl, cmd, arg); int videodevx_mmap(int hdl, void *addr, size_t len, int prot, int flags, in= t=20 fd, off_t offset); int videodevx_getfd(int hdl); /* used for polling */ int videodevx_close(int hdl); Some work in progress is available from: svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \ checkout svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b/trunk/usbcam Download "linux-2.6.29" to "ulinux/linux" cd ulinux make clean all NOTE: It's not linking yet. Second, we need a userland port for Video4Linux, which I am working on. So= =20 that the application directly receives the USB data and talks to the webcam= =20 through -lvideodevx and the new BSD licensed -lusb . Third we need to convince everyone to use videodevx when opening video=20 devices. On linux videodevx will simply be a wrapper for=20 open/close/ioctl/... . On FreeBSD videodevx will be a complete USB webcam=20 driver library. Anyone that wants to join heads? =2D-HPS
