just in case this fix is of interest...
I tried the card in another linux box and it worked fine (but this is a
server and couldn't be used as permanent fix).
I tried various different graphics cards and the last one (see below)
worked fine --except no sound until I uncommented Roland's tvmixer
/etc/modules.conf entries.
Morale of the story: if it freezes, try a different graphics card
--maybe this could be mentioned in a trouble shooting section in the
bttv mini howto?
/proc/pci for AGP ATI graphics card:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X
(rev 92).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=8.
Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe6000000 [0xe6ffffff].
I/O at 0xc800 [0xc8ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xefeff000 [0xefefffff].
Thanks for all your help --your discussions lead me in the right
direction... thanks :)
