I plugged my webcam and there is no /dev/videoX
available for it.

How can it make it found ?
How to refresh the /dev/... ?

2.6.18 kernel, and it is sure that the webcam works.

Would have anyone any single idea ?

htank you !

Is there a udev rule that creates the /dev/videoX symlink?

Execute udevtrigger. It's only supposed to be needed for non-removable devices, but I've found it's sometimes needed for removable devices as well.

I read your devfs / udev differences:

tells me that my device is the 14:

when I type :
What should I do now to have it to /dev/video2?

I did the madman :

hmm, not working ...

then:

# # udevinfo -a -p /s ys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:10.3/usb4/4-1/4-1.2/4-1.2\:1.0/usbdev4.14_ep81/dev

udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.

Ok, so you got the information you need to write a rule. Read the link I provided earlier.

hmmm, soo, good beginning then. Let's study, to understand how that works
(not so easy at beginning)

thank you Arow!!
