Hi all. I am sorry to bother you all again. I made some progresses here. I have succesfully managed to run my webcam inside skype. I have basically followed the main steps to get my webcam working outside skype (e.g. cuse4bsd, webcamd and pwcview, I am sorry I am too lazy to write all the passages...) and then I made the following: [User@Fermi:/home/User]> su [Root@Fermi:/home/User]> kldload linux_v4l2wrapper and after then, as normal user run [User@Fermi:/home/User]> skype --resources=$PWD/skype_static-2.1.0.81 & which made my webcam available and working. By the way I have these warnings comparing on my command prompt [User@Fermi:/home/User]> libv4lcontrol: error creating shm segment failed: Function not implemented libv4lcontrol: falling back to malloc-ed memory for controls libv4lcontrol: error creating shm segment failed: Function not implemented libv4lcontrol: falling back to malloc-ed memory for controls libv4lcontrol: error creating shm segment failed: Function not implemented libv4lcontrol: falling back to malloc-ed memory for controls and if I try to run pwcview from the command line I only get a window opening and closing immediately telling me this: [User@Fermi:/home/User]> pwcview Webcam set to: 320x240 (sif) at 5 fps libv4l2: error reading: Invalid argument Error reading from webcam: Invalid argument I am however able to see the output of my webcam. I do not know if this can be of use to you but I think this is a good step forward. I am actually having troubles with audio devices and skype calls but I will try get rid of those problems tomorrow. My last question is: "is it possible to add linux_v4l2wrapper_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf so that I can load such a module at startup?" Best of my respect and regards to you all, Daniele. 2011/5/15 Daniele Mazzotti <kappei84@gmail.com> > > Thanks you helped me.
