im running RH8 with all the v4l stuff installed and when i try to use xawtv or avview it tells me that /dev/video /dev/video0 /dev/video1, etc... do not exist. the actual files are there however they are not linked to anything in the /dev/ folder (this tells me that the v4l modules are not loaded because they have not been needed yet???) if i try to manually insmod the modules (bttv, etc..) i get the same errors as when I try to run xawtv and the insmod fails soooo how the heck to I get it to work so i can watch tv and do video capture in linux? here is my setup: 1.2ghz athlon RH8.0 NVIDIA Geoforce3 (primary card/monitor) ATI Rage 128 all in wonder (secondary card/monitor) xinerama is enabled I know the card(s) are ok because in XP i can watch tv/video capture with the ATI card... -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
