Hi again,
So after a little more digging I see that my third video capture device
(bttv) is also not working, in fact according to the kernel and dmesg it
is registered to /dev/video2, but there is no such device file.
So I bet udev is not working right, not creating the correct devices for
sound, nor for this video card.
So I guess gnome-desktop-environment depends on a new version of udev.
How can I get back my old sarge udev without breaking the other packages?
Or fix etch udev so that it works (at least for my video capture and
sound).
Help!
Thanks,
B.
