Hi,
I'm using webcamd happily, it's working quite well. I did notice that it
seems that if I disable the HAL option, it continues to work but doesn't
seem to create the /dev/dsp* entries, which I do need. Is there some way
to avoid this?
I ask because webcamd seems to be the only thing (on my system anyway)
that's using hald, and hald also seems to depend on an older version of
polkit (sysutils/policykit, not to be confused with sysutils/polkit) and
I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Hi,
Webcamd does not really need HAL. Make sure you have disabled HALD in
your /etc/rc.conf aswell. Even though not installed webcamd's RC script
checks for this.
Else try to see if some webcamd processes might be blocked, for example
by running them in the foreground.
Webcamd does not create /dev/dsp* entries by the way.
