I could be totally wrong about this, but that kernel is nearly a year<br>
old, and I think that may be why it works well. There was something<br>
with 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 where they redid a bunch of the ivtv stuff and at<br>
that point, although some things worked way better, some other subtle<br>
things seemed to go a bit south, i.e. the buffer / "application not<br>
reading data fast enough" thing.<br>
<br>
Not sure what the kernel version was on centOS but my i386 fedora 8 box<br>
(already a version behind) is <a href="http://2.6.24.5" target="_blank">2.6.24.5</a>. My x86_64 on f9 is 2.6.25-14<br>
(but I would recommend waiting another month before doing anything with<br>
f9, particularly if you're running an nvidia graphics card).<br>
