I had my udev rules working well with Ubuntu 8.10, but in 9.10 they changed how udev works and the udev rules below no longer work - no matter if I put them under /etc or /lib or at any priority.

I've googled and searched many times but not found a solution which works.

I realize this is really a Ubuntu 9.10 issue, but am wondering if anyone here has got any ideas ?

It's a pain when I have to re-boot for some reason and all the video sources swap round !

KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SYSFS{name}=="BT878 video (ProVideo PV150)", SYSFS{subsystem_device}=="0x1460", NAME="video0", SYMLINK+="backdoor"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SYSFS{name}=="BT878 video (ProVideo PV150)", SYSFS{subsystem_device}=="0x1461", NAME="video1", SYMLINK+="sidegate"
KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", SYSFS{name}=="BT878 video (ProVideo PV150)", SYSFS{subsystem_device}=="0x1462", NAME="video2", SYMLINK+="frontdoor"
