Hello,
I'm trying to resurrect an old Creative Webcam (model CT6840 OV511
based) I used to use in early 2000s with defunct graphics/vid. I'm
facing some problems.
I use FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 with a GENERIC kernel.
# usbconfig
(snip)
ugen0.3: <vendor 0x05a9 product 0xa511> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)
It appears to be supported by the ov519(4) driver.
If I launch webcamd, I get:
# webcamd -d ugen0.3
Attached to ugen0.3[0]
Creating /dev/video0
Creating /dev/input/event4
So far, so good.
If I launch pwcview, a green window quickly appears
then I get an error and webcamd ends:
# pwcview
Webcam set to: 320x240 (sif) at 5 fps
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Device not configured
Error reading from webcam: Device not configured
And the kernel messages say:
ugen0.3: <vendor 0x05a9 product 0xa511> at usbus0 (disconnected)
I don't really know what to do, it seems that the webcam is
disconnected each time you try to access it.
For information, here's a detailled dump from usbconfig:
