FC5 video devices on boot

I recently upgraded to FC5. I'm finding that each time I boot, my video devices come up in a
random order, which is painful.

I have entries in /etc/modprobe.conf. I thought this was how devices are mapped to drivers.

alias char-major-81-* videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 bttv
alias char-major-81-2 cx8800

However, since upgrading to FC5, this doesn't appear to work anymore.

Is this a modules.conf thing or a udev thing?

How can I make my video devices order boot up the same each time?

Thanks,

Jim
