Hi,
today I tried webcam support on my MSI Wind U100 netbook. I just did
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/pwcview
make install clean
kldload cuse4bsd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webcamd onestart
pwcview
and it just worked. Big thanks to Hans Petter who made this possible. I was
able to test with both internal webcamera and small external camera:
usbconfig -u 0 -a 2 dump_device_desc
ugen0.2: <Generic Digital camera Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd.> at usbus0,
cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON
bLength = 0x0012
bDescriptorType = 0x0001
bcdUSB = 0x0110
bDeviceClass = 0x00ff
bDeviceSubClass = 0x00ff
bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0008
idVendor = 0x04fc
idProduct = 0x0561
bcdDevice = 0x0000
iManufacturer = 0x0001 <Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd.>
iProduct = 0x0002 <Generic Digital camera>
iSerialNumber = 0x0000 <no string>
bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
usbconfig -u 4 -a 2 dump_device_desc
ugen4.2: <USB 2.0 Camera Sonix Technology Co., Ltd.> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST
spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
bLength = 0x0012
bDescriptorType = 0x0001
bcdUSB = 0x0200
bDeviceClass = 0x00ef
bDeviceSubClass = 0x0002
bDeviceProtocol = 0x0001
bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
idVendor = 0x0c45
idProduct = 0x62c0
bcdDevice = 0x0100
iManufacturer = 0x0002 <Sonix Technology Co., Ltd.>
iProduct = 0x0001 <USB 2.0 Camera>
iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <SN0001>
bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
Test was made with both 8.0-STABLE and 9.0-CURRENT.
There is one issue in my case: I tested it under console, and after
pressing 'q' display remains dark. No output seen there any more, but I can
blindly type 'pwciew' and image from webcamera is there again. Card used
there is
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x01101462 chip=0x27ae8086
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Mobile 945 Express Chipset Family'
class = display
subclass = VGA
Also, I would like to run pwcview or something similar remotely, maybe over
ssh connection. No success now, just cleared screen. If someone has any
advice, I am all ears.
Regards,
Milan
