Since I thought I had finally gotten my PVR150 working by removing the
bttv card and moving the PVR150 to a different slot, naturally
something else had to pop up to destroy my happiness. Now, I'm
getting random lock ups on the X server. I don't really
understand what's causing it, but it seems to be related to ivtv.
I was trying to get the pvr150 working the latest ivtv drivers, but it
was crashing after only a minute or two. When I rolled back to
the driver that I was using before I destroyed my system a week ago, I
managed to make it ALMOST through a movie before a lock up. What
was happening is that the CPU usage for X spikes through the
roof. With the 0.3.5t driver, just now, the mythbackend usage
shot up as well. I can't find any errors, or problems in the log,
this happened right before:<br>

I can connect to the machine via ssh and do almost anything I want,
except the screen is locked into the last frame of the movie I was
watching.<br>
<br>
The only thing I can point to that is "wrong" is this:<br>
<br>
$ ps aux|grep ivtv<br>

And I don't know what to do about them. Help!<br>
