[gentoo-user] Using TV

Hello!
I have a very strange problem.
When I use the TV card (I use usually kdetv), I can see without problem.
If I switch off kdetv and I wait sometimes (2 hours or more) in the same 
session, and I try to use the TV card another time, I cannot use it: it 
is busy and I can listen without the video.
In this case, I must log off and log in and after all works.
How can I see which process uses my card and how can I remove it?
Thanks,
Luigi

I dont know who much you know but have you tried:
ps aux | grep kdetv
or just a simple 
ps aux
and than find the process number and use 
kill <process number> 

I prefer tvtime, its a really good program and I have little trouble with it.

Cheers

assuming the tv card is /dev/video0 try:

lsof|grep /dev/video0

you may need to emerge lsof, and you will need to run it as root.

or the simplest:

pkill kdetv

RTFM pgrep, pkill
