Anyone out there know how in SuSE 7.3 to setup modules to load at bootup for video devices and also give them the right /dev/video? I have 2 Cam's and a Bttv and everytime I boot I have to modprobe the bttv because one of the Cam's take /dev/video0 and it doesn't load the module at bootup. Thanks in advance.

I have a PCI DC10+ video capture card, and a USB webcam. I arranged things so the DC10+ is found at boot time, and thus gets /dev/video0, and the webcam is probed later - from boot.local - thus getting /dev/video1. This makes it consistent after every reboot. You might need to do something similar - do what you want to do using specific modprobes from boot.local. Depending on what the existing boot process leaves you with, you might even need to rmmod some modules before reloading them in the order you want. -- 9:20am up 22 days, 18:47, 2 users, load average: 0.18, 0.08, 0.03
