Hi,
I just got a Creative Labs WebCam Live!. usbdevs -v reports this:
port 2 addr 3: full speed, power 160 mA, config 1, WebCam
Live!(0x4036), Creative Labs(0x041e), rev 1.00
and armed with that information, I quickly found out that the
spca5xx port (graphics/spcaview) supports the family that this camera
belongs to. Installed it, and it works.
One question remains: the camera shows up as /dev/ugenX (ugen0 in my
case). How do I tell my machine that want a permission of 0664 on that
device when it shows up?
I tried putting in 'perm ugen0 0664' in /etc/devfs.conf, but that
only applies on boot, I need something that applies whenever the camera
is connected. I seem to recall that this has been discussec before, but
I can't find it now (yes, bad short term memory, I know).
I'm running FreeBSD 6.0-stable:
root at kg-quiet# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #3: Sun Jan 8
20:22:06 CET 2006 root at kg-quiet.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QUIET
amd64
