Hoi Roger,

Don't you have in /dev/v4l/by-path/ links to your devices like
pci-0000:01:06.0-video-index0
They won't change if you do not physically move your card.
But then I'm running Gentoo.

Tot mails,
  Hika                            mailto:hikavdh at gmail.com

"Zonder hoop kun je niet leven
Zonder leven is er geen hoop
Het eeuwige dilemma
Zeker als je hoop moet vernietigen om te kunnen overleven!"
