Under FC2 on the same machine I have alias and options lines in /etc/modprobe.conf for my bttv-based TV tuner. When I run tvtime it Just Works. In FC3 I put the same lines in modprobe.conf, but tvtime complains that /dev/video0 doesn't exist. I have to 'modprobe bttv' by hand to get it to work. Yes, I could put the command in rc.local, but why should I have to? It worked automatically under FC2, why not with FC3? Ron
