I think I reached a first interesting milestone in my project to build an emulation layer to compile linux device drivers on FreeBSD.I managed to build a FreeBSD port of the linux 'gspca' driver (which claims to support 228 different webcams) with basically no modifications to the original source. So it would be good if someone could give a try to this code, either on -current or -stable, keeping in mind that this is NOT PRODUCTION READY yet. More details on how the thing works are at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/linux_bsd_kld.html together of course with source code, and even binary modules for FreeBSD 6.2. Basically I would like to know how it builds/works on -current, have reports on cameras that work with it and those which don't and so on. The driver supports the Video4Linux API so it should be useful for a variety of applications.
very cool. But how do you know if it works? what applications can be used with this and how do you set them to use this? I have a Quickcam Chat which apears to be supported by the linux gscpa driver(sorry I am away from it right now or I would post a dmesg). How would I access the cameras video feed? -- The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
