"probe its inputs" sounds like you're trying to run mythtv-setup when <br>
you get this error? Try running it as root. It's easier than setting <br>
udev rules for permissions and works for most people (re: Jarod's <br>
Guide).<br>

If you can't list /dev/video0 then it's not a permission problems
(sorry guys) is a driver problem.<br>
1st what do you see when you do a ls -l /dev/vide* do you see a
/dev/video1 file or anything like that? <br>
2nd conferm you have the ivtv driver installed on your system that is
the same version as your kernel (I'm on Fedora so I don't know what
version Knoppix is on.)<br>
3rd look at your modprobe (/etc/modprobe.conf) do you have the ivtv
setup?<br>
4th what happens when you run: (as root)<br>
<i>/sbin/depmod -a<br>
/sbin/modprobe ivtv<br>
<br>
</i>Look in /var/log/message and see if you have any ivtv errors.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
