Hello, I've borrowed this cheap web camera from a friend to test it with FreeBSD. Therer are no physcical markings (logs, text) on the camera itself, it is simply a camera in a black housing. On each side of the camera are three illuminating leds. The leds are controlled by a wheel (turning control) on the usb cable itself. This control allows you to turn leds from zero to full brightness. The camera itself identifes like this under FreeBSD: root@kg-work2# uname -a FreeBSD kg-work2.kg4.no 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #5: Sat Aug 22 02:29:13 CEST 2009 root@kg-work2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SX270 i386 root@kg-work2# usbdevs -v Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb1: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb2: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB camera(0x612e), vendor 0x0c45(0x0c45), rev 1.01 Controller /dev/usb3: addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered port 3 powered port 4 powered port 5 powered port 6 powered root@kg-work2# lsusb Bus /dev/usb2 Device /dev/ugen0: ID 0c45:612e Microdia Searching for this usb id tells me that under Linux, the "sonixj" driver is supposed to work for this camera. (I haven't tested this) None of these ports regonizes the camera: http://www.freshports.org/graphics/snx101util/ http://www.freshports.org/graphics/spcaview/ http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/linux-gspca-kmod/ http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/pwcbsd/ Does anyone know about a driver (for FreeBSD obviously) for this camera? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
