Comment 13 for bug 774363

It is now fixed in Fedora 15 32bits but not in Ubuntu 32 and Ubuntu 64 (2.6.38-10.46). All 3 are running on the same PC.

Also tvtime is not causing the problem. tvtime uses the v4l device video0. It seems tvtime runs fine as long as no application attempts to open the CX88 mpeg device /dev/video1. However normally the v4_id process attempts to open it during the boot sequence. All process trying to open /dev/video1 hang immediately and after that has happened processes trying to open /dev/video0 also hang.

If v4_id is not run during the boot sequence (this happens sometimes on Ubuntu 32 boot, I don't know why), it is possible to run tvtime or touch /dev/video0 safely. But if one try then to opens /dev/video1 with "touch /dev/video1", then after that running tvtime or touch /dev/video0, the process hangs.
