At this moment I am writing a userland (ugen) interface for the Logitech 
Quickcam Zoom.
I already get a YUV-packet picture out of the cam at this moment.
It's still far from finished, but i'm working on in.

Since the Logitech cam uses a module made by Philips, this driver will also 
support a range of Philips USB webcams. (at least, that's my goal :)

modern (usb) webcam support?

2003-02-19 Thread jacob rhoden

My searches for information on webcam have not found much, except for some
sites which say FreeBSD does not support USB web cameras.

Is anyone currently working on support for this? Does anyone have any
ideas about where one could go to get information about where to start
if one was to start writing a driver?

(I am about to buy a webcam for use in windows, it would be nice if I
 could choose a webcam which someone is either writing a driver for
 or knows where i coudl get information on them so that I could
 try and write one).

Any info appreciated!
