Re: tv-card configuration in Suse 9.1

Thanks for the help guys. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
I did the online update. I already did that when I installed Suse, but
now I also updated the kernel.
Then I did the mknod thing. So now I have a /dev/video0 again. But when
I want to scan for channels from the configuration center, I still get
the following error message:

v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such device or address

Also in kdetv, the card doesn't show up in the menu "Devices".
Any more tips?

Kind regards,

Bert
