I have a TV card (PCI) and a USB webcam. If I restart my Mageia, the TV

file:
<option name="V4LDevice" value="/dev/video0"/>
or
<option name="V4LDevice" value="/dev/video1"/>
Is there anyway to prevent the video call from changing at reboots?
I just bought a webcam for my 78 year old mother with the same TV card
and I wouldn't want her to go through the same procedure each time she
re-boots her Mageia.
You can probably make the name permanent with udev rules.
See in
/etc/udev/rules.d
you should have permanent-cd and permanent-net rules files which you can
look for examples. Add a new .rules file with your own rules.
For an USB device it may look like (on an single line)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0000", ATTR{idProduct}=="0000",
NAME="video1"
I am not sure how it will be for a PCI card, I am not an udev expert, see
man udev for more informations.
Merci Renaud, but,
I would think that having a webcam and TV card should not be made this
difficult for a normal user to configure. I am hoping that Mageia could
somehow figure these things out on its own or at least have a help file
somewhere to walk a user through this.
