Hello, I have with the USB cam Logitech HD Webcam Pro c910 (see: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat ) different results in my two netbooks: EeePC 900: kernel: r226986: Tue Nov 1 2011 $ ls -l /dev/vid* crw-rw---- 1 webcamd webcamd 0x71 12 may 10:21 /dev/video0 crw-rw---- 1 webcamd webcamd 0x7c 12 may 10:23 /dev/video8 $ pkg_info | egrep 'webcam|cuse4|skype|linux_v4l2' cuse4bsd-kmod-0.1.21_1 Cuse4BSD character device loopback driver for userspace pwcview-1.4.1_3 The Video4Linux PWC webcam viewer skype-2.1.0.81,1 P2P VoIP software webcamd-3.0.0.2 A port of Linux USB webcam and DVB drivers into userspace the above two devices /dev/video[0|8] are shown fine in Skype and both are working with Skype 2.1.0.81,1; as well both devices work fine with pwcview; Asus Aspire One D250: kernel: r214444: Thu Oct 28 2010 $ ls -l /dev/vid* crw-rw-rw- 1 webcamd webcamd 0, 94 12 may 08:10 /dev/video0 crw-rw-rw- 1 webcamd webcamd 0, 125 12 may 10:34 /dev/video8 $ pkg_info | egrep 'webcam|cuse4|skype|linux_v4l2' cuse4bsd-kmod-0.1.23 Cuse4BSD character device loopback driver for userspace linux_v4l2wrapper-kmod-1.0_2 Linux compatibility layer - V4L2 ioctl handler pwcview-1.4.1_3 The Video4Linux PWC webcam viewer skype-2.0.0.72,1 P2P VoIP software webcamd-3.2.0.1 A port of Linux USB webcam and DVB drivers into userspace in this netbook in Skype only device /dev/video0 is presented and works; with pwcview both cam are working, but /dev/video8 says: $ pwcview -d /dev/video8 libv4lconvert: warning more framesizes then I can handle! libv4lconvert: warning more framesizes then I can handle! Any idea why skype is not seeing /dev/video8? Is it worth to debug this or is it just the older Skype version? Btw: the cam Logitech HD Webcam Pro c910 produces the best pictures I have ever seen; in my company we use this as well for comercial videoconferencing with Tandberg Movie.
