Are there plans to support webcams under FreeBSD ?
Under Linux there are many drivers supporting many webcams exposing them
as device with some standardised access.
Under Windows there's whole driver infrastructure of camera devices.
In FreeBSD I couldn't only find old bt848 driver, driver for some
obsolete parallel port camera and pwc_bsd project supporting newer
Philips PWC chipset.
It must be possible to make some infrastructure allowing to use linux
videodevice drivers with minimal changes.
Thanx,
Yuri
