Cheese is a small GNOME app that drives webcams to take pictures and videos using gstreamer's video4linux plug-in. If you're familiar with MacOS's Photobooth, it's a lot like that. However, it won't work on FreeBSD as it stands now. The reason is we lack webcam support in our hal port. I do not have a webcam, so I have no idea how these devices look. If anyone out there has a webcam that works with FreeBSD, how do you use it? How is it identified as a webcam by the OS? What device node does it use? What applications currently work with it? If we do not have any GNOME webcam users, then cheese will not be part of our GNOME 2.22 port.
