[opensuse] Making a dev
HI all, I need to set up a dev file and have it stay even when I reboot. I'm trying to set up a web cam so I need /dev/video0 and /dev/video1. I don't know if I need anything else. When I run lsusb I get this: Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0c45:613e Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120) The correct driver is on my system. But when I run "camelot" I get this error: [i_v4l]: Cannot open device /dev/video0: No such file or directory [webcam]: Initializing V4L failed, check settings [vloopback]: vloopback open failed: No such file or directory When I run "luvcview" I get this: linux-k2k3:~ # luvcview luvcview 0.2.4 SDL information: Video driver: x11 A window manager is available Device information: Device path: /dev/video0 ERROR opening V4L interface: No such file or directory Any ideas?

Jim do you have any other video devices? If so you will want to look into udev for persistent dev names on boot up. BTW when I was going through this earlier this year, I found darn near nada results on Goggle relating to openSuSE and udev past 11.0, there is a lot of good info for Ubuntu including a link to sensible how to and what it does in plain English.
