[mythtv-users] Prebuffering Pause Problem

Hi List

I have a VIA Epia M 10000 Board with
- 2.6.8.1-epia1 patched kernel dri 1.3
- Debian 3.1 unstable
- Xfree86 4.4 with libviaXvMC 0.11.3, unichrome 3D 0.1.0,
unichrome-X-r-25 patch
- xine with unichrome-xine-plugin 0.2.1
- Hauppauge WinTV stereo
 
Everything works and i can play DVD's with a max load of 40%.
So far so good :)

Watching TV with tvtime works fine with a max load of 80%
Now I've compiled Mythtv from CVS and installed it. works.
But when i'm trying to watch Live TV I get a cpu-load of 100% and every
2 seconds a prebuffering pause message.

Does anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?
Google has no answers...
Below you can find some log output from dmesg and Xfree86

Greetings Sebastian

BTW: I've installed MythTV on an other computer AMD 3000 with 1024 MB
RAM and I have the same Problems!



TeeVee:~# dmesg | grep DMA
