Hi Karl I just try to install OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv98 on Eee 900.ath and audiohd work good on my Eee 900, but webcam doesn't work on ekiga - the green LED near the camera lamps but anything doesn't appear on ekiga. and more ekiga hangs up tring to use webcam on my Eee 900.
Seeing modinfo I can see usbvc working and checking /var/adm/messages I cant see any errors about usbvc. Do you have any ideas or advices? all ideas or advices are much more appreciated for me.
