Well, I am running Knoppmyth R5A22, but they are about to release a 
version with Myth 0.19, which is bound to have newer kernel, X wiundows 
and drivers and everything.  I was wondering if the new version might 
fix this problem, and I guess I can/should wait to try it.

Of course, with all the DVB problems with 0.19 that I am reading about, 
I was a little hesitant, but it seems it's only one brand of card - and 
mine is different (it's a Twinhan mini ter).

Thanks for the help.
