Yes and no. Yes it's working, but there isn't a specific driver for it, so it fell through to ugen. Basically, this means that if there is some userland utility for talking to the camera via ugen, then it should work. You may want to take a look at http://members.home.net/housel/projects.htm which has some kernel patches to make OV511 based USB cameras work under FreeBSD, and a utility for grabbing images from them. It doesn't work on OHCI controllers unfortunatly, but you have a UHCI controller, so your okay there. (Note however that your camera isn't listed, so it may not be OV511 based.) -- Chip Marshall <chip@chocobo.cx> http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ Finger for PGP GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a19>?
