I can't write to the /video partiion with my normal user... how can I change that

Well I have to say, thats rather a curious looking fstab.
It looks, for all the world, like an fstab thats been written as a default, but where you're supposed to change stuff by hand. Or stuff that you've somehow managed to mix up.
I could easily be wrong, but the devices are listed incorrectly i.e. the system needs to know the device, then mount point, then the format etc etc
So it depends on what hdd you've got it all installed on, heres my fstab

So if you look it identifies the device i.e. /dev/hda1 then the mount point, type etc etc.
But the device is telling the system where to find the partition, your's doesnt seem to do that unless theres another file linked to that that them tells the system where to find the stuff that you have "labelled".
Having labels like that is normally something that you'd find in the bootloader config file.
So the device nonclamenture depends on a few things, like the number of hard drives, what type they are (as I understand that some distros name things like SATA hdd's differently).
A single hdd system such as mine, the main hard drive is called /dev/hda, but the partitions, as you can see from my fstab are then suffixed as hda1, hda2, etc etc. shm and proc and the like are a little different (and distro dependant).
then the other removeable media stuff, well the naming conventions also seem to be distro dependant. (if you notice, my system see's the devices as additional hard drives - whereas on a multi hard drive system, hdb and hdc would be used for the extra hard drives).
).
And your right again I'm using Fedora Core 4
