Firewire isn't broken on Fedora, this is mythology. But actually only newer firewire devices (or somehow some models) are supported by the new juju stack... there is sometime tweaks to do (specially for the /dev/fw-0 perms ) vi /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. and add KERNEL=="fw*", OWNER="root" GROUP="firewire" MODE="0660" Older models that want old firewire stack (which will be broken as this is an unstable old stack ) can have a workaround with installing an external kernel module package: The one i've made is experimental and gives back the old firewire stack seehttp://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/7/testing/ieee1394/ (eth1394.ko isn't working safe to rm ) You will need the old userland libs also (probably libraw1394 and others...etc) This is an experimental package, if you don't knwo how to backlist modules and load raw1394.ko, don't use it...( if you knwo how to do, please give me feedback about which modules to blacklist fro loading into kernel) There was an experimental repository that have userland tools rebuilt for the old stack... I think it could be used, but it has also a kernel which is not necessary... http://www.ezplanetone.com/xwiki/bin/view/KnowledgeBase/BrokenFC7FireWire Nicolas (kwizart ) > -- > Regards, > Martin > ([EMAIL PROTECTED] ) > IT: http://methodsupport.com Personal: http://thereisnoend.org _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
