If it was working fine with the older driver, why did you upgrade? I
am still using 0.2.0 rc3f drivers without any problems. It's my
interpretation that the 0.3.x drivers are now more bleeding edge for
PVR150/500 cards with less development for the 250/350 cards, so if
the previous drivers were working nicely I'd suggest reverting back to
them unless there are specific problems you are having. I'd also
direct this question to the ivtv-devel list where it's more likely to
find other users with similar driver problems.
