I have a file mga_vid in /etc/devfs/devices.d/ that contains the
following:
# Matrox YUV Video interface
# format: name [bc] major minor uid gid mode
mga_vid c 178 0 root video 0660
This takes care of creating the proper device node automagically.
I have never had any problems with mga_vid and devfs. I posted an
mga_vid Debian package to mplayer-dev-eng some time ago. It takes
care of devfs. Dominik, please contact me if you are interested. Or
should I just post it to mplayer-users?
