Hi,

Finally I managed to upgrade all ports and install Kopete.
Situation has not improved though -- still I got:
root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/webcamd: WARNING: failed to start webcamd
I am in group webcamd and /dev/video0 does appear after plugging camera in.
Trying Kopete and opening Video tab in preferences -- nothing there.
I can try reboot with camera plugged in and I'll see if any change..
