Is there a way to find out what each device node is connected to hardwarewise? I'm wonderine if /dev/video0 is NOT the correct device for my tv card, and if one of the other sixty-three /dev/video* nodes, but I don't want to have to go through each individual one. Is there an easier way? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
