K, I understand now here is the output of the ls command. I am using
a /dev fs with the subdirs. Is /dev/video hard coded somewhere. Is that
why it has this problem. If so why cant I just go in and change it to
/dev/video0 which is the video device I am using in the config file.
Please Help me out, anyone!!
[adeponte@redtux adeponte]$ ls -la /dev/video
total 92
