Custom Linux driver support #20

Closed MegaManSec closed 3 weeks ago

MegaManSec commented 4 months ago

I'm hoping to get the pcie webcam working on a macbookpro using webcamd. A Linux kernel driver exists (https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd) but it will never be upstreamed to torvalds/linux.

Is it possible to load custom drivers into webcamd? If so, hopefully it would be possible to load the prebuilt facetimehd kernel into webcamd, providing macbook camera support.

A different solution was used. I guess unless someone takes over webcamd this won't be possible natively. RIP. https://joshua.hu/facetimehd-webcam-linux-vm-macbook-freebsd-broadcom-1570
