osakasan Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Can anyone help me with the problem below: [root@localhost /]# xawtv This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.11-6mdksmp) can't open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy v4l2: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy v4l: open /dev/video0: Device or resource busy no video grabber device available [root@localhost /]# It seems like SPCA5xx program is using /dev/video0, which is currently being use by my webcam. tried creating /dev/video1 and have xawtv use it, but it says it can not be found. and it seems it still want /dev/video0. When I un-install spca5xx program and tried to run xawtv, then it would say that it cannot find /dev/video0, but I know it is created just like /dev/video1.
