I would like to get my Crystal Eye webcam working on my Acer Aspire laptop.

I see the Crystal Eye webcam on most of the acer laptops so I hope  
that someone has theirs working and would be kind enough to share the  
method that they used.

I am using today's current cvsup, kernel compiled today and ports tree  
totally up to date.

# uname -a
FreeBSD ed.local.net.mx 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #70: Sat Nov   
1 05:52:51 CST 2008      
root at ed.local.net.mx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ENCONTACTO  i386

today's simple dmesg for the crystal eye is:

usb1: EHCI version 1.0
usb1: companion controller, 12 ports each: usb0
usb1: <EHCI (generic) USB 2.0 controller> on ehci0
usb1: USB revision 2.0
uhub1: <nVidia EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1> on usb1
uhub1: 5 ports with 5 removable, self powered
ugen0: <SuYin Acer CrystalEye webcam, class 239/2, rev 2.00/1.00, addr  
2> on uhub1
ohci1: <OHCI (generic) USB controller> mem 0xd0887000-0xd0887fff irq  
23 at device 4.0 on pci0
ohci1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ohci1: [ITHREAD]

Glad to do a verbose dmesg if needed.

Thanks for any suggestions.
