I am still having issues. I tried upgrading to the 541 kernel and
modules and everything installs fine and I can do a test capture by
doing a cat /dev/video0 > testfile.mpg. But everytime I try to watch
a live tv I get a black screen and X freezes. When I ssh to the
machine I see that X is taking all the CPU. Have any idea as to what
is going on? Please let me know what other information I can provide
to help.
Thanks!
Jason
