Hi,

I've tried to get 2 different webcams working under 8.1-rel with webcamd 
(0.1.14). But neither usb webcam is willing to work...

The first is a Logitech V-UAP41 :

[beni at bsdaddict] /etc# kldstat -vvv | grep cuse
19 1 0xc1294000 47b8 cuse4bsd.ko (/boot/modules/cuse4bsd.ko)

[beni at bsdaddict] /etc# usbconfig list
...
ugen3.2: <Camera vendor 0x046d> at usbus3, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) 
pwr=ON

[beni at bsdaddict] /etc# webcamd -d ugen3.2 -i 0 -v -1 -B
Webcamd is already running for ugen3.2.0

The second is an older one : a Creative Webcam 5. This one gets recognized, 
but...
The webcam gets recognized in dmesg :
ugen3.2: <vendor 0x041e> at usbus3
pwc0: <vendor 0x041e product 0x400c, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.02, addr 2> on 
usbus3
pwc0: This camera is equipped with a Hyundai CMOS sensor (0)

But a bit further down the road, my dmesg shows this :
...
ugen3.2: <(null)> at usbus3 (disconnected)
uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device
uhub_reattach_port: port 1 reset failed, error=USB_ERR_TIMEOUT

usbus3
pwc0: This camera is equipped with a Hyundai CMOS sensor (0)
ugen3.2: <vendor 0x041e> at usbus3 (disconnected)
and that goes on for a while.

Are my 2 cams too old or is something else wrong here ? How do i get (one) 
webcam working in p. ex. skype ? 

Thanks for any help here. 
Beni.
