Hi, I have a strange problem with my Pinnacle systems Studio PCTV RAVE card. At first it works ok with both the 0.8 and 0.7 driver. Then after some time (a couple of reboots & days) suddenly the TV-window goes black (the sound stays). Now if I unload and load the bttv module the computer hangs on load! Then I can fix it by putting the card in a windows machine and booting. It will now work again for a number of days, and the scenario repeats itself. During a successful load of the module the following is logged: ------ Sep 23 23:22:18 amd kernel: i2c-core.o: i2c core module Sep 23 23:22:18 amd kernel: i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module Sep 23 23:22:18 amd kernel: Linux video capture interface: v1.00 Sep 23 23:22:18 amd kernel: bttv: driver version 0.7.79 loaded Sep 23 23:22:18 amd kernel: bttv: using 2 buffers with 2080k (4160k total) for capture Sep 23 23:22:18 amd kernel: bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc.

Setting vsfx=1 Makes it hangs hard even before logging anything (not even the i2c things) If you need more debug-info please specify. Best regards Allan
