Nobody reacted. So either I'm stupid and just should know how these things work in FreeBSD, or people didn't have time yet to respond. I googled a lot on "webcam and freebsd" but could not find something relevant. I did read somewhre that on linux one has to create a /dev/video* which on my fbsd-6R does not exist. I trust devfs should have made one if needed.. I still at a loss on how to use my webcam on freebsd. It shouldn't be too hard I'm told. Well, whatever.. It is in dmesg, but further than that it can not be used. Who has some pointers? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.0 ++ The Power to Serve
