Hi pwlib maintainers (and multimedia people),
pwlib does the detection of video4linux devices using the
major/minor numbers, which makes no sense on FreeBSD where
we have devfs.
The patch at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/patch-zz-vidinput_v4l
fixes this - it is relatively simple, see below (apart from
whitespace issues).
If you don't have objections i would like to commit it to
the port, so that things like ekiga can access the webcams.
Suitable v4l drivers are
in ports/multimedia/pwcbsd and at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/usb-cameras.html
cheers
luigi
