Hello, thanks for picking this up. Does that mean, then, that the camera is not supported by webcamd?

I was hoping that somebody had already ported it to FreeBSD! thanks giuseppe On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 4:23 PM, Hans Petter Selasky <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/26/14 15:08, Giuseppe Pagnoni wrote: >> >> Dear all, >> >> I apologize for reposting this here, by I am trying with no success to >> make the camera on my laptop work under FreeBSD 10.1 i386.
