I would like to get a USB webcam working on my PowerPC OpenBSD 4.9 install. I'm an OpenBSD newbie.
When I plug it in, the kernel registers the USB device, but doesn't go any further to recognise it as a video device. The last line of dmesg is: ugen1 at uhub1 port 1 "Vimicro Corp. PC Camera" rev 1.10/1.00 addr 3 The following is from my Slackware box (for info on the device type and the drivers): ----------Start Slackware--------------------------------------- mplayer recognises it using the V4L2 driver: $ mplayer -tv device=/dev/video1 tv:// MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.2.4 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team 115 audio & 237 video codecs Playing tv://.
