its best to avoid the video4linux drivers in the kernels, they are
somewhat outdated. try grabbing the latest bttv drivers from the homepage
http://www.thp.uni-koeln.de/~rjkm/linux/bttv.html
i use the latest driver with both a TNT and an Imagine 128S2 (XF86
3.3.3.5) on a hauppauge card(forgot which one, Wincast PCI ?? maybe) and
it works perfectly on both xawtv and kwintv(i prefer kwintv) under
afterstep and kernel 2.2.10. never had the freeze you are referring
to. It may be a hardware issue..anything show up in the logs during that
freeze ? some kind of errors maybe ..
hope this helps ..
