I'm trying to connect a DV camara to a newly built Ubuntu(2.6 kernel recompiled for 686) box without success, So far i have learned that for some reason the system that Ubuntu uses dosn't create the appropriate dev node when the raw1394 module is loaded,
I have added the following to the end of my bootmisc.sh mknod /dev/raw1394 c 171 0 chown root:video /dev/raw1394 chmod 666 /dev/raw1394 The software I am trying to use is Kino and DVGrab both of which i installed from binary packages. attempts to access the camera come back with an error no camera found. I have previously used the same firewire controller to access a firewire hard drive enclosure (under mandrake) Ditto for the camera (but with a different controller). regards Konrad -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
