Try moving the cards around for the irq issue. It matters. There may
also be a way of forcing the issue... Can't.. remember...

I built the modules externally, and didn't build bttv as a module in the
make xconfig step,  changed Makefile version suffix so as to have a
different kernel/modules install, rather than mess with what (mostly)
works.

It fixed mine, using 2.6.3-4mdk sources. Will update and try.
(I didn't attempt the patch, just the bttv release tarball linked to
before)

Silly question, but you _DO_ have the channel fine tuning set right,
color/contrast/brightness in mythweb...?

Linux user time: Linux kernel 0.99 ish. On the Amiga. (early ~1.xx days
PC time.) You dual booted Linux as it had MORE applications...

"Back im MY day, We didn't _have_ kernel modules, and we _Liked_ it!'
