Well, I also have a TV tuner card, which I think is one of the v4l
devices. char-major-81 is already aliased to the driver for it.

Here is my /etc/conf.modules in its entirety:

alias eth0 3c59x
alias char-major-81 bttv
alias sound emu10k1
options char-major-81 vidmem=0xe20
pre-install bttv modprobe tuner

options ide-cd ignore=hdd            # tell the ide-cd module to ignore
hdb
alias scd0 sr_mod                    # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg     modprobe ide-scsi # before sg, load ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # before sr_mod, load ide-scsi

pre-install parport_pc modprobe parport
pre-install videodev   modprobe parport_pc
pre-install cpia       modprobe videodev
pre-install cpia_pp    modprobe cpia
post-install cpia_pp   echo "compression_mode:none" >> /proc/cpia/video0

Thanks.
