Re: Device or resource busy

Hi,
Check whether some other process uses /dev/video0 by using the
following command in the shell prompt.

fuser /dev/video0.

Kill that process. Then verify from "dmesg" command whether u have loaded the upgraded driver. Default loading using modprobe or insmod will load only the old driver module. Rename the old driver module and
use depmod to load new driver module.

Actually I want 2 applications to use /dev/video0 at a time. Thats the reason why i got the device or resource busy message. I solved by upgrading the bttv driver. I am using bttv based "Pixel view play Tv Pro" tv tuner card. so no idea about saa7134 based tv tuner cards. But "Hermann Pitton" one of our member knows more about saa7134 based cards.Probably he will reply. If no other process uses /dev/video0 and still the "device or resource busy" message occurs, then problem is
only with upgradded saa7134 driver.

All the best.

With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.

I have been trying to get my flyvideo 3000 to work under RH 9. I
have patched 2.4.21 kernel with the v4l2 modules and have installed the saa7134-0.2.7 drivers. I have also installed xawtv 3.88. The install process for both the modules and drivers have reported no error messages. I finally type xawtv at my command line to find that
i get this as output
