Thanks for the info.  That seemed to have fixed it for me as well.  Now I can 
finally use kdetv-0.8.3.  I did have to recompile 0.8.0 and make uninstall 
from the /var/tmp/portage/kdetv-0.8.0/work/kdetv-0.8.0 directory and emerge 
-C kdetv then emerge the latest kdetv.  Then it worked like a charm.  So this 
time I didn't see that NO  Devices error message on startup.

By the way. I use Gentoo Linux as well with KDE 3.2.3 , 3.3.1 and kde-cvs 
installed. Mostly I use kde-cvs.  Now if I can just fix kuickshow I'll be 
very happy indeed.
