Webcam

[Ependi Silalahi]

I have Lenovo T430 . Freebsd 11
How do I enable the webcam.
I think the webcam is Intel.
I am not good yet.
Anybody out there have Lenovo T430?

Install multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod and load the kernel module:

# pkg install cuse4bsd-kmod
# kldload cuse4bsd

To make it persistent add the following line to your /boot/loader.conf:

cuse4bsd_load="YES"

Now you can test it by running:

$ mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l2

You'll need to enable V4L (video4linux2) when building mplayer/mplayer2 (I believe it's not enabled by default).

Install multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod and load the kernel module:

# pkg install cuse4bsd-kmod
# kldload cuse4bsd

To make it persistent add the following line to your /boot/loader.conf:

cuse4bsd_load="YES"

This is not necessary anymore on FreeBSD 11.0. It comes with the system, so just use cuse_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf.

You also need to install multimedia/webcamd and set it up. Refer to the message that is printed when you install it.

Do we need to have in /etc/rc.conf

webcamd_enable="YES"

Thank you.

Yo may need to set the right device explicitly. Run:

# usbconfig list
ugen0.1: <XHCI root HUB 0x8086> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen2.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen2.2: <product 0x0024 vendor 0x8087> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.2: <product 0x0024 vendor 0x8087> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.3: <Integrated Smart Card Reader Lenovo> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)
ugen1.4: <Integrated Camera Ricoh Company Ltd.> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (200mA)

Then add the corresponding flag "-d 1.4" to your /etc/rc.conf

webcamd_enable="YES"
webcamd_0_flags="-d 1.4 -i 0 -v 0"

[EDIT] fixing a typo in the file name.

Sorry, I mistyped, you should add it in /etc/rc.conf.
I'm on T430. Do you see the actual process running? E.g.:

$ ps aux | grep webcamd
root       27614   0.0  0.1   43876   9948  -  Is   Fri21       7:10.97 /usr/local/sbin/webcamd -i 0 -d ugen1.4 -B -U

aragats
here is the snapshots I have on my lenovo T430. still doesnt work I use 1.4 also not working

 

[Ependi Silalahi]

aragats , since you have T430, can you use slim? I can't . using slim it make my login screen split two virtual windows.
but using KDE windows manager i have no problem and using startx is als fine.
Sorry for late responds.

Ependi Silalahi , you may try running webcamd manually first:
