The inode (/dev/ entry) exists and can be opened, but either the driver modules can't be found, can't be loaded, or for some reason the driver isn't happy once loaded - could be that it doesn't think the card is present, or some other problem. Run "dmesg" or look at /var/log/messages to see what error messages come up - they might even be self-explanatory. I usually run "tail -f /var/log/messages" in another xterm while initialy accessing a new hardware device. > that 2.4.2-2 doesn't support my card's video?
