If not, and you really are running udev, then edit /etc/conf.d/rc and change - RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes" to "no" and reboot. That should clear out all the useless nodes. Have you tried /dev/video1? Also, do all nodes exists in /dev/v4l?

For devfs enabled systems, default is /dev/v4l/video or /dev/v4l/video0, in that order. For non devfs systems, default is /dev/video or /dev/video/video0 or /dev/video0, in that order. Note that on /proc enabled systems, video device detection is automagic. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
