I just noticed two new ports
graphics/fswebcam and graphics/luvcview
for web cameras. What is the purpose of these two ports if only USB
cameras based on
old OV511 and OV511+ chipsets work on OpenBSD?
Is actually possible to port
Video 4 Linux driver to OpenBSD.
I would suspect that spca5xx driver (a component of V4L) and phpsview
(philips USB camera) drivers could be ported as there are NetBSD and
FreeBSD ports of these drivers.
But there are far more devices supported by V4L which I believe is very
kernel depended.
Does it mean, in the light of the fact that Ekiga recently ported to
OpenBSD, that video conferencing via cheap USB cameras will be possible
on OpenBSD?
