There are patches for the Linux program xfqcam in incoming/ on ftp.freebsd.org (I believe the name is xfqcam-1.02.patches.tar.gz or something similar, but the ftp site is down due to disk problems, so I can't confirm that). Had it built and running in about ten minutes on my 2.0.5 box, and it runs almost perfectly. Only problem I have is that it won't autodetect the camera, I have to supply it with a parallel port address. A small price to pay for such a nifty toy... ;-) Also, check out the QucikCam Reverse Engineering Project at: http://www.crynwr.com/qcpc/ +---------+------------------------------+--------------------------+---------+ | | Jeff Francis | "Our country has a | | | (__) | Pencom System Administration | violence problem, not | (__) | | /( oo | jfrancis@pencom.com | a gun problem." | /( oo | | /\_| | IBM, Boulder, CO, USA, Earth | | /\_| | | | Powered by FreeBSD & Mtn Dew | -- Karl Rehn | | +---------+------------------------------+--------------------------+---------+
