I'm looking forward to the day I'll be able > to do video conferencing with my iSight on FreeBSD :-) having a working camera now, at least i can start debugging the applications. the only app i have found (though there may be more that i am not aware of) is ekiga and it does not seem to work. after a huge amount of time spent upgrating the zillion pagages it depends on, i first found that it did not see the camera because when pwlib was built, v4lcompat was not installed. Fixed that, it still did not see the camera because it looks for linux major/minor numbers (fixed, patch going to be committed soon). Fixed that, i could see the local image in the video window, but no video was sent across - not even in an ekiga<->ekiga setting. I am also experiencing other bugs with ekiga, e.g. it remembers the proxy even if it is not registered with it, somehow fails to exchange sip messages after the first connection, the usual partial failures in a natted environment, and finally the program does not exit when you ask it kindly. Ctrl-\ helps here. I suppose there are many linux assumptions in the code at various stages that silently fail when built on FreeBSD. cheers luigi > -- > Florent Thoumie > flz@FreeBSD.org > FreeBSD Committer >
