Hi Luigi, You can try adding a printout in: kernel/kern_file.c, function linux_ioctl() to get all the ioctls that skype issues. Maybe you get some clues from that. > I am under the impression (perhaps wrong) that webcamd > (or libv4l1) implements some conversion of the native formats ? libv4l does format conversion yes. That's the idea behind libv4l, to not do that format conversion in the kernel. --HPS _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
