thanks! that did the trick - this may not be the right way, but at least it works: 1. unplug camera 2. unload all ieee / 1394 modules (may I don't need to do all, but I did anyway). iee1394 couldn't be unloaded without first unloading raw1394. 3. load raw1394 and dv1394 4. run udevstart 5. plug in camera eg: $ sudo modprobe -r dv1394 raw1394 ohci1394 ieee1394 $ lsmod | grep 1394 $ sudo modprobe raw1394 $ sudo modprobe dv1394 $ sudo udevstart $ sudo kino thanks, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. -- Elbert Hubbard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
