[olug] MPLAYER Blue screen.

[Don E. Kauffman]

Well this is interesting. Video out from MPLAYER is now working again.
I'm not sure what did it. I do have one request though... How does one
find out what process is using a device? For example, the message output
below says that /dev/rtc is not available and to make sure that user has
read permission. I did and user does. How does one proceed from there to
find out what processes may be holding the device?

Thanks,

Don
