[Tfug] how to create device

[Ranjan Grover]

Hey

I've got a Leadtek Winfast TV card and it was working fine but the power  
went off and on booting up, TVTime says it can't find /dev/video0. Turns  
out that there is no video0 device file in /dev. It used to be there for  
sure because on doing cat /dev/video0 I could see an endless stream of  
junk when the TV card was working.

I tried deleting the card in YaST and re-installing it but that doesn't  
seem to do it. lspci shows that the card exists, and the card works fine  
in Windows, so I know that this is not a card problem. I also tried  
installing the TV card as /dev/video1 and running tvtime to look at  
/dev/video1 but it still couldn't open it. Anyone else had this problem?
