Can you give us a rundown on how to get this to work? I followed the instructions in the README but the permissions and owner/group bits never stayed the way I wanted them. (eg: root.audio for all of /dev/sound, root.video for all of /dev/v4l, etc). I'm using the devfsd from unstable now. Also, I use the NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.0.1 driver. This driver needs five entries in /dev to work. I can't get devfs to keep those entries there across reboots. I made a script to do make those entries every time the system is booted but I'm sure there is a prorper way of doing it. Any help? Thanks.
