If not, and you really are running udev, then edit /etc/conf.d/rc and change - RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" to "no" and reboot. That should clear out all the useless nodes. Have you tried /dev/video1? Also, do all nodes exists in /dev/v4l? If I were running MythTV, I'd have select one of the modes from - chi rsanders # ls -l /dev/v4l total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 64 Dec 30 06:57 radio0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 65 Dec 30 06:57 radio1 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 224 Dec 30 06:57 vbi0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 228 Dec 30 06:57 vbi4 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 232 Dec 30 06:57 vbi8 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Dec 30 06:57 video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 16 Dec 30 06:57 video16 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 24 Dec 30 06:57 video24 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 32 Dec 30 06:57 video32 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 48 Dec 30 06:57 video48 According to xawdecode -h, -c video device video4linux video device. For devfs enabled systems, default is /dev/v4l/video or /dev/v4l/video0, in that order. For non devfs systems, default is /dev/video or /dev/video/video0 or /dev/video0, in that order. Note that on /proc enabled systems, video device detection is automagic. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
