I have a Logiteck QuickCam Chat webcam (USB-2)
When I run usbdevs or usbdevs -v I get the following:

[usbdevs]
addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA
 addr 2: Camera, vendor 0x046d
addr 1: UHCI root hub, VIA

[usbdevs -v]
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Camera(0x092c),
vendor 0x046d(0x046d), rev 0.00
 port 2 powered
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 powered

So, the device is detected alright. But I cannot get it to work.
Kopeke (KDE)  i.e. does not see the device.

I have two questions:
(a) do I need to load some kind of *.ko file (like for the soundcards)
to use a webcam under freebsd-6R?
(b) what program is useful in testing this (web) usb-camera?

Hope to get some advice.
