Try removing the second line. Only the first should be in there (the
second line may cause the first to be ignored).
The device alias ensures that when a program attempts to access a
device, the kernel loads the appropriate driver (removing the need to
pre-load it). I'm surprised that's not taking care of it.
Unless major device 195 is being used by something else too?
What does this give you:
ls -la /dev |grep "195"
