I think it's premature to conclude it's related to the kernel. It may be a
kernel semantics change. It may be an ATI driver issue or a DRM module issue.
It may be a problem with ivtv 0.6 (though I doubt it as I mentioned it's the
same codebase as 0.4.4). It may have something to do with some other software
or hardware on my system. It also may just be a bug in mythtv that I've
managed to trigger that other people haven't for some reason.

The first question I guess is is there anybody successfully using mythtv on a
2.6.16 kernel? Surely I'm not the only one? If everyone on 2.6.16 has the same
problem then obviously that's the likely source of the problem.


Also, you seem to have some kind of windows virus or something attached to
your email:
