  Nope, just a customised beatnik quote header. Any decent news client
allows you to customise the quote header.

  I notice you said you've got the line

alias /dev/video* mxb

in /etc/modprobe.conf. Try this instead (It may not work, but it's
worth a try.):

alias char-major-81-0 mxb

That's what you'd do for the bttv module, so it might work for mxb
too. If not, then try to find out what char-major number it should be,
and use that.

  Uh, at the end of the post, where all good sigs reside.
