Re: tv-card configuration in Suse 9.1

My tv-card is connected to my soundcard by means of a cable. I have a
dual boot system with windows, and there it works fine. I saw something
on the mailinglist of kdetv about using kmix and kamix. I'm gonna try
that. But the problem I'm facing at the moment is that I can't watch
anything at all. The tv-card isn't listed in the devices menu anymore. I
haven't got any idea how to get it back in there. 
I tried several things now, but nothing seems to work. I get the error
message that /dev/video0 doesn't exists. But that's not true, because I
can see it when I go to /dev.

But thanks for the tips.
