> Are you sure that the Logitech C310 is supported at all by the pwc.ko

Hi. Collating some notes...

The C210, C310, C910 are supported by the Linux UVC driver here:
http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/

I'm sure the C510 would be with a simple ID definition.
Maybe it is, I just haven't found the right file yet.
Google says the C510 may be emitting the same ID as the C310.

UVC cams should work with any UVC capable apps.

Note that it appears there was an API update in kernel 2.6.38.
I don't know yet if that has made it down into the FreeBSD bits.

Logitech's open source group is here (the forum seems current):
http://www.quickcamteam.net/

The UVC spec is here:
http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs

Some repos are here:
