</div>The TBS cards use the same cx23885 device that the Hauppauge HVR 1250 &<br>
1850 use, both of which support RC input. The problem, as I understand<br>
it, is that in some modes the cx23885 can produce an interrupt storm.<br>
<br>
Given that the current v4l RC architecture is unlikely to change<br>
significantly in the near future then instead of bleating, perhaps TBS<br>
should contribute a fix. However, given that to date all of TBS's code<br>
has been kept private then that's unlikely. So the TBS Linux drivers<br>
are likely to become increasingly incompatible with current Linux<br>
kernels.<br></blockquote><div><br>already done it. apparently a MSI bug rather than TBS/cx23885 issue.<br>although i think there may be an issue in LIRC 0.9.0 too - i seem to recall Jarod Wilson finding an regression bug along *similar* lines of this issue.<br>
<br>ofcouse, i'm going off what people have said and trying to remember things off the top of my head.... not my own findings; bug finding like this is out of my skill level.<br><br></div></div>
