That leaves udev, as in its not automaticly creating the device, and
whose name I haven't the foggiest.
Is there a way to "force" the creation of the camera's control device by
udev?
The device file is dev/raw1394, handled by the raw1394 kernel module.
For udev, see linu1394.org/faq.php.
libraw1394 ( libraw1394-1.2.1-1.fc5) is installed, and the modules
loaded. But kino-9.2 can't see any of them. Kino-8.02 sees the video
stream, but not the control ports of libraw1394. I have also installed
the rest of the stuff listed on linux1394.org, including:
libiec61883-1.0.0-10.fc5.2
libiec61883-utils-1.0.0-10.fc5.2
libavc1394-0.5.1-2.2
dvgrab-2.0-1.2.1
I have gone thru the procedure to do the autorelabel of selinux, also to
no avail. Besides which its running in permissive mode anyway.
This all worked a year ago last summer on an FC2 install, running
kino-7.5, but did require re-enabling the av/c stuff everytime I re-ran
kino. It seems every step forward is a step & a half backwards.
I have cinelerra downloading now to see if I have enough stuff to build
it. Blender it turns out needs an import function from a camera to be
written yet.
I have attached 2 snapshots, one of the full screen (dumb) of kino-8.02
showing its 1394 prefs editing window, and one of just the prefs window
of kino-9.2. They won't make it thru the fedora listserver, but I've
Cc:'d you also.
What more info can I extract from the system to help troubleshoot this?
Thanks, Dan.
