Yep, the webcam works with webcamd but the quality is not great...

I run 10-CURRENT :

FreeBSD laptop.martymac.org 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #12
r231062M: Mon Feb  6 10:29:35 CET 2012    
martymac at laptop.martymac.org:/usr/obj/files/Src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

with all.13.1 patch (no more available) from :

http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/drm/

3D acceleration works well, as well as suspend/resume when Xorg has been
started (black screen if on console).

Best regards,
