LinuxQuestions.org - Suse's Ivtv And Lirc Don't Work, cat: /dev/video: No such device

Code:

SuSEBurken:~ # cat /dev/video0 > /home/lagu2653/HemmaBio/TV/test.mpg

cat: /dev/video0: No such device

I can't open them eventhough I'm root and the permissions are set to 777. Ls clearly shows that they exist. I used # cat /dev/video0 > /home/lagu2653/HemmaBio/TV/test.mpg and # lircd --nodaemon and # irw

Code:

SuSEBurken:~ # /usr/sbin/lircd --nodaemon

lircd 0.7.0: lircd(any) ready

lircd 0.7.0: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd

lircd 0.7.0: could not open /dev/lirc

lircd 0.7.0: default_init(): No such device or address

lircd 0.7.0: caught signal

Terminated

SuSEBurken:~ #

If I install ivtv and lirc from source I can open them.
