I'm running FC6 on AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ freshly compile
kernel
2.6.20.4 #1 SMP (not a fedora kernel)
and compiled IVTV-0.10.1
My problem seems to have started when I upgrade to ivtv 0.10.0.
I'll try to change VBI setting to see if it can help and also to update
ivtv to the latest
Thanks
