Yeah, I know that theorically they should be loaded when needed, but look,
when I execute xawtv (for example):
[ag@agvideo ag]$ xawtv -c /dev/video0
This is xawtv-3.91, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.5)
can't open /dev/video0: No such device or address
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device or address
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device or address
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such device or address
no video grabber device available
However it works perfect if I load manually the drivers in advance (so they
arent loaded when needed ¿?¿?¿?)

I've tried:
[ag@agvideo ag]$ ls -l /dev/video1
crw------- 1 ag root 81, 1 abr 11 2002 /dev/video1
[ag@agvideo ag]$ ls -l /dev/video0
crw------- 1 ag root 81, 0 abr 11 2002 /dev/video0
One more note, the line I've added to modprobe.conf is:
alias char-major-81-* bttv
Any idea about this?
