To add auto detection/automatic driver setup for a frame grabber board which has a custom Linux driver. I've managed to get kudzu to add the following line:I think I know why this device id is used now: It's simply because the board is identified as a CAPTURE class device, and 81 is the official id for video4linux/"Video capture/overlay" devices.
alias char-major-81 itifg
to /etc/modules.conf
However, after loading the module I get
cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
[ ... ]
254 itifg
In other words the module registers itself with major id. 254, while I would assume 81 from the modules.conf entry. Any ideas why? How exactly does kudzu determine device ids?
I'm still not quite sure what to do in order to get automatic setup of my device, though. I could change the major id. of the driver, I guess, but I'm not sure if that would be right.
