My pci tv tuner card gets /dev/video0 on boot (I have the support compiled in) and my usb webcam gets /dev/video1 when I plug it in. The usb webcam gets /dev/video0 if it is plugged in on boot. I could fix this with a custom udev rule but I can't be bothered :p
Thanks John - unfortunately that is what I suspected. I am running Sarge. They both have kernel modules that load but give limited functionality in other areas by the look of it. I think my alternatives now are to write a better driver or to buy a new webcam (unless anybody has some they don't want and can give away!) Ian
