Hi,

I have a logitech quickcam. Will I be able to use it in FreeBSD?
Can I use Windows driver?
Maybe you want to have a look at pwcbsd[1]. This is to use linux drivers on

A more recent project exists in the ports tree.  If you're running
8.0-RELEASE or later, you might have a look at:

   ports/multimedia/video4bsd-kmod
   ports/multimedia/webcamd

Although, I don't know if your particular camera is supported.

Hi,

I kept this thread open while I tried some cameras myself and I can say that all three cheapo web cams that I tried work.

I've now got
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed Mar 24 11:51:43 GMT 2010 GENERIC i386 (note sources
were csupped a couple of weeks before)

video4bsd-kmod-0.1.3
libv4l-0.6.4
v4l_compat-1.0.20100113
webcamd-0.1.4
pwcview-1.4.1_2

loader.conf has
video4bsd_load="YES"

rc.conf
webcamd_enable="YES"

The webcam user needs write permissions on /dev/video0 - I still need to set this up in devfs.rules.

Webcams I have are an ancient Logitech, some sort of Microsoft cam and an ASDA Smart Value cam for £6 :)

I have a problem using any of the cameras with Skype which I will post separately.

cheers

Chris
