Keith, I have no experience with devfs, so i really can't offer any suggestions. Just wondering why you'r using devfs in the first place, when its really not 'stable' code? I've gotten everything you're struggling with working under the tracditional /dev/ system with mjpegtools, so this is definitely a devfs issue.
