Framegrabber software and such is not in the BLFS, as far as I know,

I've successfully run a very old Miro-something-bttv-based tv/grabber-
card for many years, which I now replaced with a WinTV PVR150 which is
supposed to grab more and faster.
However, my problem seems to have to do with video4linux and/or udev
and/or maybe the whole installation, as it manifests itself like a
troublesome /dev/video device:
bombadil 613>ls -l /dev/video0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 81, 0 Jul 2 19:45 /dev/video0
bombadil 614>v4l-info /dev/video0
open /dev/video0: No such device
I have driver modules loaded (bttv, v4l2_common, ivtv, tuner, ...)
which I thought should be sufficient to get something more
intelligible than the above error message.
What does it say in /var/log/sys.log when you load the modules? Does it say it detected the card correctly?
You may find more expert help on the video4linux mailing list https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list A lot of the traffic there is technical stuff about kernel patches, but there are plenty of nice people who are willing to help with more basic problems. Also, the ivtv forum http://www.shspvr.com/smf/ or do they just do the PVR-250 and PVR-350 cards?
