Hi, I just got a Creative Labs WebCam Live!. usbdevs -v reports this: port 2 addr 3: full speed, power 160 mA, config 1, WebCam Live!(0x4036), Creative Labs(0x041e), rev 1.00 and armed with that information, I quickly found out that the spca5xx port (graphics/spcaview) supports the family that this camera belongs to. Installed it, and it works. One question remains: the camera shows up as /dev/ugenX (ugen0 in my case). How do I tell my machine that want a permission of 0664 on that device when it shows up? I tried putting in 'perm ugen0 0664' in /etc/devfs.conf, but that only applies on boot, I need something that applies whenever the camera is connected. I seem to recall that this has been discussec before, but I can't find it now (yes, bad short term memory, I know). I'm running FreeBSD 6.0-stable: root@kg-quiet# uname -a FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #3: Sun Jan 8 20:22:06 CET 2006 root@kg-quiet.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/QUIET amd64 -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
