Hi everyone!
Despite searching thoroughly through the mailing list archives and
Google, I was not able to find a clear answer to this question: are
there any programs available to control a modern USB webcam, such as
Logitech QuickCam or Vimicro webcam, using OpenBSD (3.7)?
The graphics/cqcam port only supports parallel port webcams, which in
my opinion should be considered obsolete.
The graphics/vid port only supports cameras with Omnivision OV511 or
OV511+ chipsets, meaning that at least QuickCam and Vimicro are *not*
supported. I'm now trying to find out if the current Creative webcams
still use the OV511+ chipset.
The Vimicro camera was properly recognized and assigned to /dev/
ugen0, but I found no way to use it. The Logitech QuickCam was not
even recognized - except for it's built-in microphone, which was
assigned to /dev/uaudio0.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue?
Thanks!
- Jyri
