Hello everyone,
I habe been a plain user of Linux for over one a half year, sporting
Debian 3.1, now with Kernel 2.6.8, KDE 3.3 on a Pentium PC, and I'm very
satisfied.
I also have a FireWire card by VIA Technologies (OHCI compatible).
What brings me to the forum is that I absolutely can't grab video from
my camcorder with my FireWire card.
No connection, no gscanbus working, nothing...
I read lots of documentation and information on forums (Lea-Linux,
Linux.fr) or found with the help of yahoogle (ABUL, Funix, Dardenne,
etc.) but got none the wiser for it...
However, I realised that as nothing else was making a problem (FireWire
card was recognised, ohci1394 , ieee1394 , eth1394 modules automatically
loaded, and modprobe raw1394 and video1394 worked out alright –
confirmed by lsmod grep 1394), it had to be something else.
So since I'd read of « /dev/video(?) » and « /dev/raw(1394) » files, I
went to the « /dev » path, and found that nothing of that sort was in
there...
So doctors: what's the cure?
Thanks in advance
ludo
