kinda OT: bttv locks my machine solid
I'm trying to get an Askey/Dynalink CPH061 tv/capture card running via
bttv/video4linux, latest versions of bttv (0.7.21), latest i2c (2.4.5)
(patched the kernel source) and kernel 2.2.14. I have all modules loading correctly (and they
report what I expect (see the verbose output from bttv below)) but as soon
as I try and get anything to actually use bttv it locks my machine solid,
for example, I try and run xawtv and bang, the machine freezes, same for
broadcast 2000. I'm using an up-to-date potato by the way, I have an
S3Virge/Dx 4meg PCI video card and have tried it with both SVGA and s3v
XF86 servers.
I have tried everything I could think of, even tried compiling -
unsuccessfully - a 2.3.50 (is there a debian kernel-source package for
2.3.x kernels at all, I downloaded the tar.bz2 2.3.50 and tried "make
menuconfig; make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image"
but the kernel compile failed with errors, maybe I was doing something
wrong ?).
Any ideas anybody ??
Here is verbose output from loading the bttv module...
