[ snip lots of stuff about installing skype ]

So, after that slight detour, does anyone have any idea how I can get my 
webcam recognised in skype? I'm using

video4bsd-kmod-0.1.3
libv4l-0.6.4
v4l_compat-1.0.20100113
webcamd-0.1.4
pwcview-1.4.1_2
skype-2.0.0.72,1
linux_base-f10-10_2
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 #1 i386 GENERIC

Is skype video working for anyone?

thanks  very much

Chris
