I've had a lot of problems with X today. I finally got X back up, but when I went to check MythTV, it didn't work. I started tracking down the problem. I went into mythtv-setup and it said that it couldn't find any video inputs, so I examined /dev/v4l/video0. What I found was really confusing:
camille ~ # ls -l /dev/v4l total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 64 Feb 18 09:20 radio0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 224 Feb 18 09:20 vbi0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Feb 18 09:20 video0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 24 Feb 18 09:20 video24 crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 32 Feb 18 09:20 video32 camille ~ # cat /dev/v4l/video0 cat: /dev/v4l/video0: No such device or address Is it there, or isn't it? I don't know if it matters, but when I was trying to fix the X problem, I built and booted with a new kernel: camille ~ # uname -a Linux camille 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Wed Feb 18 14:20:01 CST 2009 i686 GNU/Linux Please help!
