<br>files when the system boots or when device driver configurations change. If<br>this is so and if you've just accidentally type "rm /dev/video0" or something<br>similar, you should get your device file back by rebooting the computer.
<br><br>Assuming it's not that simple, you must have somehow configured your system to<br>not load the relevant driver. The fix will depend on how you did this, and<br>perhaps on what driver it is, and thus what hardware (particularly your
<br>encoding device) you're using, so please post your hardware information. Some<br>clues about what you did to your backend in your experimentation would be<br>helpful, too; I can think of several very different ways you could have
<br>caused your /dev/video0 device to go away, and the fixes will be equally<br>different.<br><br>--<br>Rod Smith<br><a href="http://www.rodsbooks.com">http://www.rodsbooks.com</a><br>_______________________________________________
