I am trying to get my saa7134 card working with xawtv.  However, I do not have a /dev/video0.  I have posted some info.

[root at myth mythtv]#ll /dev/video?
ls: /dev/video?: No such file or directory

[root at myth mythtv]#xawtv
This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i586 (2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at)

can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory

[root at myth mythtv]# xawtv -hwscan

looking for available devices
port 177-177
    type : Xvideo, image scaler
    name : NV17 Video Texture

port 178-209
    type : Xvideo, image scaler
    name : NV05 Video Blitter


Here is a snippet from my modprobe.conf:
#TV Tuner
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 saa7134
options saa7134 tuner=43


What am I missing that is keeping me from having /dev/video0?



Thanks for the help.

Craig
