Anybody knows how to use IEE1394 using udev?? It seems the raw1394 is not appeared in /dev when i plug in my video cam to the ieee1394 port.

Since you are using udev, that means you are using 2.6.* kernel. Did you compiled in support for that?

yes...

okay guys...this is the log what i have..

Before connecting ieee1394 device

nazmin@darkstar:~$ lsmod

After connecting ieee1394 device:

nazmin@darkstar:~$ lsmod

nazmin@darkstar:~$

use dvgrab to grab video

nazmin@darkstar:~$ dvgrab -dv1
raw1394 - couldn't get handle: No such file or directory
This error usually means that the ieee1394 driver is not loaded or that /dev/raw1394 does not exist.

I think very little ppl use video camera with slackware,I hope you fix your problem.I just bought video camera and soon I will have to take the dv out,but I don't have firewire card yet(soon I will buy )I hope I won't have any diffiiculties

For device files not populated by udev, you have to write your own udev rules in /etc/udev. It is a matter of get infos from /sys directory than use it on rules.
Try this link to learn how to write your own udev rules :

In my case, I did "make dev" in libraw1394 source directory, and /dev/raw1394 was made.

prob solved, pls follow this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ghlight=dvgrab
