Hi everyone,
with the 0414-snapshot of SAA7134 I get some strange results on my
Medion MD-9717.
First, when switching to a channel witout signal (i.e. offline VCR),
xawtv reports loss of signal with pretty much the same message as when
it looses irq, and the system crashes. It really crashes, I never had
that with linux before, but this goes straight into a reboot.
Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing in /var/log/messages or
/var/log/syslog.
Secondly, when the error discussed in "saa7134 and EIO" and following
occurs now, I can get the card back to work with reloading the module,
however, xawtv appears to be slower then before. In fullscreen
grabdisplay-mode, the picture seems to be only at about 8-10 fps, though
cpu usage is at about 75 percent only. Overlay looks fine. I also
suspect that the whole problem might be connected with xawtv's
grabdisplay-mode, as I didn't yet have it, when runnig with overlay, but
frequently with grabdisplay.
Hope that can help anybody working on SAA7134.
Thanks
Tjark
