Re: /dev/video absent
Hello folks,
I am reposting my problem again.. I am hoping to get a
webcam (a TV tuner card later) working on a
Debian/Unstable box with 2.6.17-1-486 kernel and
evga's graphics card with nVidia GForce 6600LE
chipset.
The webcam in concern is a Logitech Quickcam IM. The
material I dug up from the net says to compile a
certain driver against the kernel headers.
But there are no /dev/video* devices. I have put the
v4l module (videodev) using modconf. lsmod gives the
following list:

udev seems to take care of the devices... when i try
to "MAKEDEV video", i get the following message..
udev active, devices will be created in
/dev/.static/dev/
yes there are all sorts of device files in that
directory with access only to root.
So what should i do?
