Orcan, No, I'm using a (cheap-o) ATI Rage128 PF / 8mb card...but I do have weird problems with my x-server when it tries to initialize DRI to the card (problems with r128.o). I'm working on solving those problems as a possible work-around. However...I don't really think this is a video card problem. There's a way to check too. Can you run the "streamer" utility which comes with xawtv? That program seems like it just initializes raw capturing without outputting to the video card or anything (which might be the cause of the problems). If so, you could set up a kludgy "pipe" where you "streamer" the video to disk, and then watch it in real-time from disk as a standard video file (mpeg-2?). If this works, then it IS a video card problem (yay!)...but if it still locks up the computer then we're back to the drawing board. I haven't tried the above method yet (not home to try it till tonight!), but that's my next step. Also, the new drivers (0.9.x) seem to increase the performance a bit...for the short time before the computer crashes at least! Any other thoughts? Have you tried different PCI bus slots? I read your message saying you pulled out every card but the capture and video cards, but did you try different PCI slots? Is there a way I can find out more about what's going on inside the capture, so I can watch the driver report ? The kernel doesn't even panic or anything...just locks the whole computer up. I'm confident we'll figure this out! --saul > > No, I tried those, they didn't help either...
