[mythtv-users] QT version 3.3.2

What kernel patches are you using with 2.6.6 to support the pcHDTV card?  I
haven't been able to get it to work under mythtv on 2.6.6.   Are you running
any special patches to mythtv to support it?  I'm running the latest CVS,
as-is.

Thanks

I noticed the same thing.  I compared mythprogfind, which doesn't 
exhibit this problem, to mythfrontend and the difference seems to be the 
Init call at mythfrontend/main.cpp:940. When  commented out, the problem 
goes away. QT-3.3.2 supposedly has a fix for a problem similar to this.  
Not sure why this works yet.

Other than that, FC2, Gnome w/ the stock 2.6.6 kernel is working with my 
PVR350 and pcHDTV cards.
