what's this "device(2)"? only the canopus or both?

anyhow: i have an ADVC110 on my desk, and it used to work fine with
Gem (just checked).
since it really is a DV-device, you will obviously need videoDV
support for Gem (apt-get install gem-plugin-dv4l).
then it should show up as something like "/dev/fw1"
